  • How to view which packages will be in the next snapshot on tumbleweed?
    1 project | /r/openSUSE | 2 Sep 2023
    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?
    1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 10 Jul 2023
    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

    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.

    1 project | /r/openSUSE | 9 Jun 2023
    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
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 31 May 2023
    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
    1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 9 May 2023
    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?
    1 project | /r/linux_gaming | 24 Mar 2023
    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
    1 project | /r/FindMeADistro | 15 Mar 2023
    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.

  • Exclude certain CIS (sca) rules from agents
    1 project | /r/Wazuh | 11 Dec 2023
    There is currently no feature for excluding specific SCA rules however this feature has been requested here and would be added to the roadmap for future releases.

  • Greenbone

    I use Wazuh instead. Greenbone CE is severely limited and requires payment for anything beyond the very basic. Super simple installation more features.
  • Update vulnerability databases through proxy with authentication
    3 projects | /r/Wazuh | 7 Dec 2023
    Seems like something that should be documented somewhere more official than a random reddit post for sure. Added it to https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/1112 for good measure.
  • 💻 Introducing Wazuh 4.7.0.
    1 project | /r/Wazuh | 6 Dec 2023
    Hmm, I've really been wanting to try Wazuh but since all our endpoints (Win10/11) are running a German locale I've run into https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/16842 when checking the compliance checks (CIS benchmarks) on a test installation of 4.6.
  • Risks of hosting a website out of my house
    2 projects | /r/HomeNetworking | 6 Nov 2023
    Monitoring & Active Measures - Exporting firewall events to an external time-series database like I describe above is good to see who is touching your firewall or accessing your web site. Using an Intrusion Detection System / Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) such as open-source Suricata, which is a free package on pfSense, and deploying file system integrity monitoring, such as the open-source Wazuh on the exposed server are also good approaches to protecting yourself.
  • Ignore Vulnerability for specific CVE?

    We are actively working on enhancing the system to allow users to mark vulnerabilities as "not vulnerable" or hide them. You can track the progress of this enhancement on the following GitHub issue: (Enhancement - Mark Vulnerabilities as Not Vulnerable).

    Hello, thanks for using Wazuh, I will try to answer your questions: 1- I am going to check with the team in charge to see if there is a way. 2- Untriaged is a default value that is placed on vulnerabilities that do not have low, medium or high values https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh/issues/12675 3- As in the previous point, the providers of vulnerability lists have not provided the data.
