@john #OpenSUSE Slowroll + Plasma 6. All the pros of a rolling distro; but only pulls in major changes once a month, so it skips what few bumps OpenSUSE Tumbleweed tends to have.

Also unlike most rolling distros you can kind of fearlessly update OpenSUSE after long periods of time, without looking at update notes.

@maxxieb (1/2)
I had to refrain from calling "Bingo", because I had anticipated that question. But it is an obvious question that deserves an answer. I also had to stop myself from quoting Shakespeare ("There more things ...").

In my case it boils down to this:
1. I have been experimenting with using #NixOS on my laptop, where I do all of my (private) things. I also have home-manager on my work laptop.
I can almost do all of the things I can on my #openSUSE #Tumbleweed laptop. This includes packaging for openSUSE.

But I have not converted all of my 3 dozen different VMs, servers, raspis, NUCs and whatnot to NixOS. They will keep running a mixture of immutable (openSUSE #MicroOS, #Fedora #CoreOS, NixOS, ...) and non-immutable things (Debian, Proxmox, ...). And I would like to be able to manage them from whatever host I am currently working from. Hence I would like to have a working Ansible environment on my NixOS laptop to manage other machines with.

Diese Woche #opensuse Leap 15.6 erfolgreich auf meinem alten Notebook installiert.
Geschafft #Calibre zu installieren, die fehlenden Dateien ebenfalls installiert bekommen, DeAcsm und DeDrm hinzugefügt und meine Bibliothek importiert.
Gab ein paar Anlaufschwierigkeiten aber bin ein wenig Stolz, dass alles geklappt hat.

Als nächstes:
Endlich mehr mit #linux beschäftigen und zwar von Grund auf. Lese nun erste einmal das Linux Handbuch für Einsteiger und sehe wie viel ich noch nicht weiß.
