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.
- PSA: Flatpaks are currently broken on Fedora. Here's a temporary solution.

Choosing beginner-friendly distro for gaming and coding
For development, I really like Arch Linux because of the freedom and AUR¹, for gaming, I prefer openSUSE because of the rock solid performance and reliability out-of-the-box, and their automated QA platform helps to ensure new updates don't break the system, so, sometimes, openSUSE delivers the latest package first (while Arch Linux waits for the first patch version).
-
When will Linux 6.0 come to arch?
Yes it does, my Tumbleweed installation already got 6.0, but most of Tumbleweed testing is fully automated so they have some advantage there, even though I did not expected openSUSE to have a more up-to-date kernel.
-
I'm sorry if this was posted a million times but hear me out please.
for gaming I would use tumbleweed (rolling release) version as then you will get latest stuff (but unlike on Arch (-based), so its more tested / stable thanks to openQA and obs)
-
Latest grub update on arch distros seems to cause boot issues
Yes, openQA is also use for Tumbleweed as well.

Unpopular Opinion: Flatpaks are overrated.
openSUSE Tumbleweed already does all of that using Zypper, openQA and Snapper respectively.

openSUSE Frequently Asked Questions -- start here
openSUSE Tumbleweed follows a rolling-release model. A new "version" is automatically tested (with openQA) and released every few days. Security updates are distributed as part of regular package updates (except in emergencies). Any package can be updated at any time, and new features are introduced as soon as the distro maintainers think they are ready. The user experience can change due to these updates, though we try to avoid breaking things without providing an upgrade path and some notice (usually on the Factory mailing list).

Moving from TrueNAS to Linux. Is it right move?

Thinking of switching from a 4 bay hardware RAID 5 to an 8 bay JBOD. Looking for opinions.
I myself prescribe to the teachings of the IronicBadger(Alex Kretzshmar) from the Self-Hosted podcast and (when I get one setup) intend to follow the guides on his site https://perfectmediaserver.com and use mergerfs to turn a JBOD to a single filesystem and use SnapRAID for redundancy.

Plex Media Server Is Dropping Old Windows PCs and Macs
Trashguides and Perfect Media Server have great setup guides and linuxserver.io has all the docker-compose templates. Good luck!

MergerFS + *arrs + Jellyfin?
Are there any good tutorials? I’ve read the Perfect Media Server (PMS) series but it’s not that thorough.

JellyFin from a Plex user's perspective
Unraid has a lot of useful home server features and is relatively easy to get going. I think the price is reasonable for what you get. Depending on your experience level, there is a potentially steep learning curve to a DIY solution that includes MergerFS, which is just one piece of the DIY media server puzzle. My journey started with unraid (many, many years ago!) --> Synology --> DIY with Debian. It's very satisfying to have full control over everything with most things being open source but it's not for everyone. I would suggest taking a look at Perfect Media Server if you're interested in making that jump

Going “all out” on my Plex Server build 4 years ago has continually paid for itself. I’ll never settle for ads on something I’ve paid for. If you’re on the fence about Plex, do it for yourself!
i used https://perfectmediaserver.com/ the 2017 iteration.

Can I use some Linux distro as my server instead of something like TrueNas Scale?
As for guides? You might check out Perfect Media Server. I'm not exactly new to this, and I still learned a heck of a lot. The one caveat I'd give is don't use ZFS. By the time you're running MergerFS and SnapRAID, it provides very few advantages, and the hassle, inflexibility, and the fact that you should REALLY be running ECC RAM if you're going to use ZFS means it's just not worth it. Stick to EXT4 or BtrFS. And don't use the BtrFS RAID5/6.
What are some alternatives?
