I recently came across openSUSE again and decided to give it a try this time. I am daily driving Fedora 40 right now and before coming across openSUSE I wanted to switch to Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora (i.e., immutable / atomic). That’s why MicroOS peaked my interest but I had a hard time find information if MicroOS is suitable for daily driving as a atomic desktop or mainly used for a container host on a server.
If someone has personal experience with openSUSE or could link me to a nice write up comparing the two I would be very thankful!
Edit:
In the MicroOS portal it is described like this:
Rolling Release: Every new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot also automatically produces a new openSUSE MicroOS release.
Yes I already use the Fedora KDE Spin right now, it’s awesome!
I didn’t know that it uses X11 because Fedora uses Wayland already for a few major releases.
I think I found a solution for your problem recently. Are you familiar with distrobox? AFAIK you can use it on top of your OS, in this case Tumbleweed, and install another OS in a container, like Arch, and then export the programs installed from AUR or whatever to your host OS.
But nonetheless thank you, I think I should just try it out in a virtual machine or something.
I’ll check that out, thanks for the recommendation. as for it defaulting to X11, it’s no issue because the Wayland session is also available and has been absolutely solid for me, I was just surprised that it wasn’t the preferred session by the distro.
