Are the openSUSE forums quieter than usual?
Parallels Tools will not install in Leap 15.6 (ARM) on an M1 Mac Studio
I'm finding a lot of threads with no replies and I'm wondering if openSUSE community congregates elsewhere or is it just a quiet community in general.
Forums in general have a seen a steep decline in the last years.
I found the forums to be less active than I remember from the SuSE days. I gave Tumbleweed a try last year and eventually switched back to Arch and Gentoo because most troubleshooting searches default to those distributions, it seems.
That’s such a pity. I absolutely love the distribution but have had a lot of teething issues that were just non-existent on another distribution so I switched. For now, anyway. Thanks for chiming in.
It saddens me. SuSE 5.3 was a significant part of my technological experiences while living in Germany. They excel in enterprise solutions, but are not typically the preferred Linux distribution for everyday users outside of specific communities.
I use openSUSE everywhere, but I don't recommend it for new users because of the support issues. I end up using the Arch wiki a fair amount, and the vast majority of it applies regardless of distro.
The Matrix channel seems to be fairly responsive, at least compared to the forums. But both areas are a bit sparse. I wonder if it's better in German.
