I really liked this talk as well. It was very focused, nice slides and good motivation why I should care (lol). Thank you!

You lost me when I saw flatpak on your stack. What’s the freaking point? Everything is available as rpm

was that the same person that said they didn't see any need for flakes a year or so ago? if so, what changed their mind?

Respect for the work done, however I continue to prefer Tumbleweed which I have been using for over 6 years now and it has never caused me any problems. By the way I don't really like GNOME, not because I have anything against it, but I simply can't work with it, I find it much more convenient to use KDE-Plasma. If the Plasma version of MicroOS gets a stable release one day, then I might consider it, but for me, using GNOME is truly awful.

As far as servers go why not make pxe bootable distro that doesn't install itself to disk? It boots over network and it ready to rock. Updates are reboot away same with rollbacks. Operating system becomes like kubernetes pod: immutable and stateless. As a bonus disks can be used for actually useful stuff.

Yeah no. Id rather use ikey's serpentOS

Aeon is a master piece, using the development version and its pretty stable, just works. Auto updates, rollback, flathub, distrobox and Gnome, all i need 💚.

I'm keeping Tumbleweed, but thank you for all this work, it's great.

promising! i am looking forward for this.

I truly can't wait to see this get available. For desktop/home server use cases, fscrypt method allows encryption on only some (sensitive) files and allow non-sensitive files to be stored unencrypted such that they might be accessed without the need to unlock.

OpenSuse+Meta= OpenSuseberg. Be prepared 😈.

I wanted to switch rom Manjaro to opensuse but if you guys are proud being supported by meta who are infamously known for taking our information to sell and do things with..Yeah I'm avoiding this like the grim death. And if you want to work on something how about hardware/software conpatitibilty? Having 2 threads one named "The hard way" to install nvidia drivers, why not just make it easier? No Linux distribution made me jump through so many hoops as well as the X11 issues you guys still have? Or maybe work on software compatitibilty like Surfshark and other apps? You guys have many good thing but fail hard at others it is confusing

Thank you! This talk helped me immensely. Any talk of a location for ASG24?

Awesome project!

how can it be right when it's using gnome abomination? why don't you just focus on kalpa which is the right version. geez,

Sadly the Subtitles are misleading useless. Worse than automatic.

Interesting

The initial build was garbage when it first came out…no Internet connection and it was a mess as a desktop. A few years later, Kalpa is much improved and everything now works, including the Internet! 😊

I kinda still find it hard to grasp the soup of TPM, SED, FDE & Bitlocker for Windows, i.e how do I do SED (Samsung 990 Pro) with hardware encryption (no loss of speed) and that of Bitlocker (enable/disable); my dream is to have hardware FDE (using SED feature&) on Linux; currently I have Elitebook with TPM 2.0 and OPAL option (which I didn't enable) in BIOS and I have just simply enabled DriveLock feature. Man its a mess/complicated!!!

Have been SuSE/Opensuse user since version 7.x, as my primary OS, Tumbleweed being my choice since nearly its early days.; as of today I am running it on my latest bought Elitebook 835 G10 7840U/32GB/Samsung 990 Pro 2TB and all is working out of box, including ambient light sensor, wifi, bluetooth, fingerprint scanner, etc ... 100%. Will definitely give a try to MicroOS/Aeon, but then I a KDE guy! Thanks to the Team for this awesome OS/platform/distro ... Thumbs Up!

"Big YAML" received a chuckle. Very much enjoyed the talk, thank you Xe!

Merry Christmas ty for teaching ❤

"once you get past all the syntax checking, and all of the syntax errors ..." well, at least you get those, so you can fix stuff. nix just barfs the stack where the evaluation failed. then you get to guess your way forward

I want to move away from my Win10 to openSUSE. All I use is Atlantis word processor, VLC player, and the Chrome browser. Should I choose openSUSE Aeon over openSUSE Tumbleweed? Thanks. :)

Understanding firmware is absolutely essential for computational hardware design

very helpfull

This is a fantastic approach. Looking forward to seeing this land.

Awesome to hear about a mechanism to detect deviations from the base image release. This is so super useful on Silverblue with rpm-ostree.

"There has got to be something simpler here" Lol, I love Nixos, but NixOs is not "simpler" at least in the process of learning how to actually leverage the technology. Learning Kubernetes was childs play, compared to learning NixoS, for me at least.

hi, great talk thx ! any performances test for btrfs vs encrypted btrfs ? we know functionality is the driver here but its good to know :)

github url please! (: nice talk! edit: found it

I'm so glad MicroOS made standalone install possible without those rhel coreos ignition requirements

The speaker's ability to roll with the punches when his technology lets him down is amazing

QR code failure. You can't put this out to the internet and expect to ever shut down your laptop again.

So GNOME only? No thanks not interested.

i got nixos hype and using it for past month.... now youtubej can't stop me suggesting nixos videos... great talk anyway..

Does anyone knows how to do the same but for windows binaries ?

Nice!

Always liked OpenSUSE. I like the concept of immutability and roll back

Thanks for this presentation!

My favorite talk that year :)

epic beginning

This is awesome. It astonishes me always again how good and forward looking openSUSE Tumbleweed is. Great Work

One usually pronounces the -ae- in words like archaeology, aetiology, haemoglobin, dyslipidaemia, daemon, and aeon (think "Americanized" spellings: etiology, hemoglobin, dyslipidemia, demon, and eon) are all pronounced USUALLY with a long E vowel sound, not so much like how this presenter is pronouncing "aeon." Hmm. It just is so funny to hear people pronouncing daemon as DAYmun, when it is the old ash (ae) letter that is pronounced today as DEEmun EVEN if it is still spelled daemon. From Wikipedia: "Æ (lowercase: æ) is a character formed from the letters a and e, originally a ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae. It has been promoted to the status of a letter in some languages, including Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. It was also used in Old Swedish before being changed to ä. The modern International Phonetic Alphabet uses it to represent the near-open front unrounded vowel (the sound represented by the 'a' in English words like cat)."

Thank you

It's mentioned that one does not need to tools like dracut to build initrds as mkosi builds the initrd automatically. If one has the requirement for a custom hooks in the initrd, does mkosi have interfaces to define that?

How does one go if they have multiple users and filling up disk storage because instead of system wide flatpaks by default, it's user wide and so all users have their own flatpak installations even the same ones?

i use arch btw

The main problems I see is you have to use btrfs, which isn't the fastest filesystem, especially on slower computers, and it only supports gnome, which sucks, I believe there's an alpha kde version too, but that's only 2 desktops, if you want something similar but with way more freedom then I recommend nixos, you can use any filesystem, you can use any desktop or window manager, and from what I can see you get similar functionality in terms of when you update it doesn't overwrite your current system, it installs the updated software alongside it, so then if an update breaks something you can just reboot into your previous working system.

Brilliant.
