Standard linux distro

  • July 22, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that openSUSE offers both GNOME and KDE environments. Unlike many Linux distros, it's also pretty accessible to the average user- the graphic-based interface makes learning it a simple affair. With Gnome, though, you also have the option of keyboard-based action, which can be significantly faster for some users. Also, it's pretty cool looking.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's only available in 64-bit these days. Sometimes I like to breathe new life into old laptops that come my way before passing them along, and I often can't use this distro for lack of hardware compatibility and support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenSUSE provides a free desktop operating system. As such, it solves a number of business needs from Internet access to email to word processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are so many Linux distros that meet just about every use case. Shop around until you find the one you want. openSUSE is a great choice because it's super flexible and actively developed.

Una de las mejores distribuciones de Linux

  • July 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Uno de los principales puntos favorables es lo sencillo que es de instalar, en unos pocos pasos ya puedes disfrutar de este excelente sistema operativo, a tal punto, que la facilidad a la hora de reparticionar disco, permiten al usuario poder disfrutar de otros sistemas operativos en el mismo equipo.
Otro punto a tener en consideración es el de la personalización, ya que en el mismo cuenta con varios escritorios, para poder personalizar el escritorio a nuestro gusto.
Adicionalmente cuenta con un amplio soporte por parte de la comunidad y ademas, cuenta con un soporte de hasta 18 meses por parte de los desarrolladores.
Sin duda, uno de los sistemas operativos mas estables y personalizables dentro del mundo Linux.
What do you dislike about the product?
Los principales puntos negativos son los que se pueden conseguir en cualquier otra distribución en base a Linux como son la no compatibilidad con este sistema de algunos programas, juegos e incluso hardware.
Por otro lado, se tiene que tener conocimiento previo sobre el manejo de sistemas en base Linux, ya que esta distribución no esta orientada para usuarios nuevos.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nos ha permitido crear ambientes seguros para el desarrollo de aplicaciones, pensando en una posible migración a este tipo de sistemas y verificar la compatibilidad de los aplicativos.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tener conocimiento de instalar aplicaciones en ambiente Linux es primordial a la hora de manejar este software, adicionalmente es necesario tener conocimiento de para que se utilizara este recurso, hogar, empresa o estudio.

Completo,, liviano, grauito ...y CASI perfecto!

  • July 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Software 100% libre en cualquier distribución. La seguridad es una de las ventajas más obvias ya que, aunque no al 100% de seguridad, pero no nos vemos afectados por virus. Facilidad de la instalación de los programas
What do you dislike about the product?
Echo en falta algunos programas que no puedo arrancar, como por ejemplo AutoCAD. No tiene un uso tan sencillo e intuitivo como otras suites. Noto una carencia de hardware y juegos y lo más importante, en general es que faltan algunos programas informáticos potentes que son necesarios.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Un sistema muy estable con efectos 3D de escritorio que no le envidia a ningun otro SO. Aunque el desarrollo es rápido, muestra un grado de dificultad por encima de la competencia, aunque cada 8 meses regularmente se liberen nuevas versiones de OpenSUSE.

LEAP into action with openSUSE

  • July 20, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
openSUSE has, hands down, the best KDE desktop experience of any distro out there, it has great theming and the defaults are pretty much perfect. On top of that, you have YAST2 for config in a nice visual manner, but can drop down to the command line for either finer tuned control than the GUI gives you or if you’re just more comfortable with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting mono to install the way that I want to has always been less than comfortable, but that is, I think, more on me than openSUSE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using openSUSE LEAP to spin up some low powered VMs for PoC servers is really fantastic, that has allowed much greater flexibility to myself and other devs.

A reasonable open source operating system

  • July 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Definitely better than Ubuntu because it adds the latest and greatest features.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you are installing openSUSE as the only operating system, this is a good system to have. However, openSUSE is not very intuitive to use with other operating systems like Windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use openSUSE for academic research. Because it’s relatively easy to set up and has the latest security features, this is a great choice.
