TK4- runs fine on OpenSuse. The 3270 emulator (upper right) works as expected, menu items in English as opposed to the last time it even worked in Manjaro. With OpenSuse’s connection with mainframes I think 3270 emulation will be available for a while. Not to mention that OpenSuse itself actually offers Hercules.

Tumbleweed applying 198 updates!
I’m not going to document every update. But after so many Manjaro update problems, trying to get an idea of how OpenSuse handles it. Success!
Privacy 53 years ago
Seems like Computer privacy was on the mind of some even in 1968. Almost exactly 53 years ago. Found this Look magazine cover (Too big for my scanner) going through my beloved recently departed mothers things.
Tumbleweed applying 144 updates!
Success! Means applied and restart/logon.
Manjaro updates fail…Again!!!
I don’t think I ever wanted to like a distro as much as I wanted to with Manjaro. Perhaps if I tried more distros I’d find something better, but I don’t distro hop as much these days as I use too. This last year, Manjaro’s been trying so hard to be a professional distro. However …

Update OpenSuse
First successful update 54 packages of Tumbleweed. Tried sudo zypper update but it said “openSUSE Tumbleweed’ requires to be updated by calling ‘zypper dup”. So I used the duplication method (that’s what comes to my mind) to update Tumbleweed.
OpenSuse and Python
Why is the default still version 2? Version 2 hasn’t been supported since Jan. 1st 2020!
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and other software
Oh OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Software…how do I install thee…let me count the ways. Wanted to install Keypass, seems fairly popular. Tried Discover…nope! Tried YaST software…nope! Finally found a 1 click install from the Browser. Darn…not very advanced. Only three places to look for software? What was I thinking also wanted to install neofetch and found yet …
Install OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Last time I used OpenSUSE was in 2015. First off I found it odd, considering it was a 4+ GB iso, that I had to install Gimp. A few things stood out for me in this distro. Root [/] defaults to BTRFS and Home [/home] defaulted to XFS. I used these suggestions. Always stuck with …
