thinking of coming back, but have some questions...

Always been a fan of openSUSE…even back in 2004 when I first installed it :slight_smile:

I’ve been trying several distros/DE’s to see what fits me but I’m always tempted to come back. Here are the things that I need running and working in TW:

  • Temp monitor (cpu/gpu) - gui or terminal

  • Mendeley - available

  • F@H - a quick google search doesn’t show it’s available and probably hard to install. I have it running fine in other distro, but I’d like to get it working as I want to contribute to COVID-19 research

  • VScode - available

  • PyCharm - via Snap? never used it

  • Gnome boxes - I’ll install KDE

  • Power button to suspend (works in Gnome DE but not in KDE) - maybe fixed or needs tinkering

  • OneDrive ?

  • Google Drive ?

Optional:
Dev environment: sql, python prosgresql

Temp: various methods available
F@H: had that running through a docker container. Now using BOINC with the Rosetta@Home project
Pycharm is in TW
Power button to suspend for several of my customers/friends works fine in KDE
One drive? No idea.
Google Drive should work with the kio-gdrive addon

That reference is no longer usable.

The following recent thread is latest…

Some used a docker container,
I provided an install guide which should work but no one has likely tried,
There are a few other methods others described which worked for them.

Seems if you have no need or interest in GPU/APU acceleration, then a generic solution like the docker containers works fine and is fastest/simplest to implement.
If you want the extra acceleration, then you may want to try the guide I posted, it’s based on most recent F@H official documentation.

Like F@H,
All the others are supported in some way, searching this Forum for that specific thing you want to set up is probably one of the better approaches to getting latest, best advice.

Thanks. I just started reading that thread when you posted this. I’ll what I can do.

Just came across this thread when looking for onedrive on Linux.
I found two solutions:
onedrive client for linux: openSUSE Software which is this GitHub - abraunegg/onedrive: OneDrive Client for Linux
rclone which allows to copy/sync data to onedrive and, more interesting, to mount onedrive as a folder in Linux: Microsoft OneDrive
