What brought you to openSUSE/SUSE?

After administrating some HP-UX workstations at work in the late 80’s I guess I always missed some Unix/Linux based OS. Used windows for decades, but as MS seems they more and more want to take ownership of your life, I got tired of it and decided to give Linux a real chance a couple of years ago.

Due to a glitchy and unstable hardware in a mini pc, now returned, I tested several distros as I thought that would solve the problem. On my new self-build amd based PC the plan was to use Mint, but due to an old kernel for the latest AMD 5 series mb, I got very bad graphic performance. In the searching for a more updated distro, I came across OpenSuse TW and couldn’t be more happy.

I have now thrown Windows and all other MS applications out my house, uses TW with KDE on all my three PC’s which is my main PC in the living room, my Dell laptop for the garage for maintenance of my MC, and my third PC connected to the TV for streaming etc.
I would be more than happy to donate a small amount to OpenSuse now and then if that would be possible, but seems not. That was done in a good way at the Mint site.
