hi
while running opensuse i have felt almost so good rather than Debian Distributions(UBUNTU) and Redhat Distributions…
but since long i am trying to play song and open video, trying to install filezilla, trying to install WINE but still i can’t do, a lot more dependencies error and its really hard to install third part repository in open suse, but same thing can easily run in Redhat (Fedora) and ubuntu
that is my experience…but what to do i like opensuse and nothing run there and hard to install new software, but i do not like fedora and ubuntu, since i feel comfort running with KDE rather GNOME
and i have go through this site…
http://www.trends.google.com
and type percentage used UBUNTU, fedora and opensuse world widely
but opensuse is rarely used rather than ubuntu and fedora…
UBUNTU is so popular and easy as well…
you can also check it…and see caparison
something need to optimize so that, number of user would seek to run opensuse, so that it would be easy for beginner as well as expert also
hope in future i can install new software, can play audio , video
and easy for me to run openSUSE
best regards

Mmm well I found that very interesting it seems the most common language if I understand trends is German for Suse…
But I’m not to sure what you can really tell, that searching in multiple languages you’re better of using Ubuntu, perhaps but then there community encourages native speakers.
Then if you change the search term to opensuse Russia wins… Now perhaps I see a trend in downward trend since ms/novell but in what the search term Suse well iirc that is to be expected 10.2 it changed to opensuse.
Then look at the peaks what are we really talking about it seems they’re based around news articles or releases.
Then lets look at 2005 you can see the introduction of opensuse, and the climbing of ubuntu but where are the searches from?
Then even looking at Ubuntu English still doesn’t make the top 10 in fact it is only fed that do. Then look at the search trends for the mother companies the one I found most interesting they are all about the same.
The only thing I can really determine is that for multiple languages ubuntu is the best, if English perhaps fed and if German maybe opensuse. But then why are you using suse, fed, ubuntu as part of your search term? Perhaps it just says more new users are searching. So leaves the question do they have more problems then?
To make it really interesting put in linux now that beats them all, that has a downward trend to, and still English struggles to make the top 10.
Though I think your problem is repo management, you were asked to post the repos you have in one of you other posts but failed to. Had you, you may find the grumbles you had here don’t really exist.
hi
thanks for replying
but i am not talking about the language at all, i am just talking about the easiness to use and run. Understandability and based on Easiness and Understandability you increase number of users as Microsoft has since it is user friendly and linux is somehow not.
even the users who used to Debian or Redhat packages feel quite difficult if he first run openSUSE since both are linux but command use in debian does not work in opensuse like apt-get and zypper, and there are lots of issues, and even it is really hard to run software like VLC media player, filezilla in openSUSE rather than other linux distribution…
now my request is that, make it this much easy so that at least you can run that is in current market and trends…
and this obviously increase the number of users is not it…
but openSUSE is quite difficult rather than UBUNTU.
and greater the difficult lesser will be user…
anyway openSUSE is good than previous version.
hope it will be good in next version and i will have no problem at all

Generally you find it is the ubuntu users that have the trouble not the others. Ubuntu hides much away which is fine when it all works but when it doesn’t then it seems many Ubuntu users go looking else where and struggle.
It is not hard but if you wish to get help then you only have to post, I distro hop constantly. I have to remember all the little quirks. Put it this way if you tackle one of the harder distro’s the skills you learn will help in any of the others. If you learn Ubuntu you learn Ubuntu.
When Ubuntu works it is easy when it doesn’t it can be very tricky. I can set up multimedia up in seconds. The one thing that you have to do because of Suse’s OSS policy unlike Ubuntu which will never change is add One repo yes just one repo and you can find one click for that in the wiki.
I do wonder why it no longer offers you the choice of enabling it at install. I’m sure they did not so long ago, but perhaps I remember wrongly. But it is still just one repo packman.
