      I was genuinely about to say how the openSUSE installer looks incredibly similar to the Windows XP one

          Everyone is nostalgic to XP so they decide to make part of a different operating system look very similar to it just for nostalgia sake

              I completely forgot that even existed. This reply is now a downvote farm.

    Just because of the loading bar? You’re easy to please 😁.

      Not just loading bar it’s everything about the aesthetic in the menu, logo on the top, installation steps on the side and loading bar on the middle just enough to fill the screen while not being too crowded or overwhelming

        Was just kidding 😁 Keep that feeling, it’s a great one ! I love to see other people enjoying such simple but powerful brain flooding dopamine ! That awwwwww moment is really enjoayble, for others and yourself !

        Hope you will have fun with openSUSE ! I’m also thinking to switch from Debian to OpenSUSE for my daily drive. Debian as server is fantastic, but got some quirks running it with backports and testing.

        Maybe a skill issue? Probably, but trying something different will give me the necessary boost to find out 😄

    Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.

    I think people here are don’t know and understand how customizable is opensuse’s installer.

    Really good! Reminds me a bit of Mandriva Linux installer’s look and feel. Yes, I am as old as rocks.

    There is a reason for this: https://yast.opensuse.org/

    https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST

    Yast is opensuse’s configuration/setup tool, and it’s used in the installer.

    You can also use it from the installed distro itself, even configuring things like grub.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
