How to view which packages will be in the next snapshot on tumbleweed?
I sometimes look at https://openqa.opensuse.org/ when I'm excited for a new package release (example, kernel 6.5) just to see how far along the next snapshot is. While this is interesting, I can't seem to figure out which packages will be in the snapshot when I do this.

What distro do you use and recommend?
anyway, one great thing about SUSE is openqa.opensuse.org/ which does automatic testing that updates work before releasing....and every pkgs is build using Open Build Service (OBS) which is great as that makes sure Distro has more consistent/automatic binary built

make me one of yours
I use Tumbleweed since years and although rolling, its more stable than Pop ever was for me. Stable in the sense of daily use and upgrading in particular. Every update you get on OpenSuse is, as a TLDR version of an explanation, run through an automated AI process that checks if everything works, only then the update is pushed out. The AI analyzes pictures of the OS to check. For example, it goes through the boot process and sees if it works, then clicks on certain apps like yast and see if they open, comparing whats shown on screen with a reference picture. You can see whats currently going on in terms of testing here.

Is anyone else concerned about the future of OpenSUSE Leap/ALP?
I value Greg KH's Tumbleweed. It does everything I want. Thanks to build.opensuse.org and openqa.opensuse.org . If I had to start from scratch, MicroOs, I would learn along the way.

Looking for a distro to teach Linux to teenagers
Rolling release players? openSUSE Tumbleweed (backed/tested by OpenQA before released), EndeavourOS (Arch with an installer; however, this could be too advanced when it breaks)

Advice on Distro / DE
I would recommend openSUSE (KDE) tumbleweed you get the newest pkgs and they are well tested and they have great tools like openQA, obs, YaST etc. and if you have issue with any updates you can easily just rollback to latest working snapshot

OpenSUSE vs Arch for gaming?
And even though Arch stability heavily depends on the user and package maintainers doing everything right (I'm looking at you TimeShift), openSUSE, being backed by a company, have way more resources and robust infrastructure for ensuring their system is stable than Arch does (I have said this a couple of times, SUSE's openQA is incredible).

Reliable distro for work with new KDE
Tumbleweed is very current - well, as current as your last update.g/ This means that it's very rare that something is rolled out to the community that hasn't been tested as working.

Archinstall ntp non servers?
In any case, have you studied https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall and https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall. While archinstall is new and has the expected bugs, I've not had your issues before. You might try an earlier ISO, like Oct 2023, though it's not clear if you're using an ISO or the archinstall installed package.

Trusted GUI installer to install pure ArchLinux ?
I'm using my laptop as dual boot between Manjaro and Windows 10, I tried for months to install ArchLinux using archinstall tool but the operation always fails with random errors, because I want to install it on a single ext4 partition like how Manjaro is installed. Is there any trusted GUI installer that uses calamares and can install pure ArchLinux ?
-
Endeavor vs Vanilla arch?
The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.
-
grub-install needed after GRUB package gets updated?
Mount that partition as /efi. Change this in your /etc/fstab as well. This is a good time to remove all the weird carriage returns that archinstall puts in your fstab file (https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1399).

Steam On Linux Use Ticked Higher In May, 25% Of Linux Gamers Are Using The Steam Deck
Most distros have a nice graphical installer which does make things less of a hassle. But these days Arch also bundles archinstall which is quite easy to use and supports a few display environments for automatic setup right out the gate which is nice.

Distro Hopping
Or just use archinstall which is official part of the iso file.

Plz help I'm trying Archinstall in virtual box but is not working
If you're still suffering with this problem: Maybe try to find the file/module on your system. If it's present, you might want to try to run this pacman -Sy python archinstall (found it here: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1810) to reinstall python and the archinstall script. I hope that this helps you.
