Re: [opensuse] wiki article: Why to use openSUSE

The default KDE setup (except the menu I prefer "KDE" style) is much
nice than any other disto. That's why I use SuSE.

What can we do to improve SuSE? Look at the user experience from
Ubuntu. I try to play an MP3 file and with 1 click it will install the
MP3 codec. Opensuse will just take me to a wiki page where I click a
link or two and then it adds packman and installs the package. Too
much of a hassle -- some people don't read and thus could get
frustrated.

Also last time I checked the PHP in SuSE does not work with IONCube
encoded files for some reason. Alot of people have reported that. IIRC
apache will just segfault. This is due to some "optimizations" applied
to PHP.

Longer release cycles would be VERY nice but I'm not crossing my finger on that.

No need to reply here, just go there and add comments, new sections etc.

Note that article is not "My daily rant", although something like series of
articles comparing openSUSE with other distributions, operating systems,
desktops might be helpful to get bigger picture.

If we want to build the best distro, having digest of what other do compared
to what we do can be helpful.

Also comparing applications from different worlds might be good idea.
