No need to switch, here.

My Family has been using either #Ubuntu (2 computers) or #OpenSuse #TumbleWeed (5 computers) - for some years now.

#Yast enabled my family members to do a lot of things for themselves without great further knowledge (or - gasp - the command line), e.g. installing a printer.

TPM2-measured boot with bus protection is pretty nice actually for Linux installations where secure boot is not enabled, like the default Arch Linux installation for instance.

For the sake of "defence in depth", I'd enable both if it is out-of-the-box feature but would not probably bother with secure boot if it requires extra work.

So, the takeaway from this is that it would make a lot of sense to make measured boot happen in arch-install installation as opt-in feature. No Microsoft key required.

Still so far the most informative overview for the shenanigans is microos.opensuse.org/blog/2023… but I'd also look for more recent references.

Policy hash calculation per kernel package update for LUKS2 is what needs to happen over time whenever a new kernel package is installed with hooks/scripts.

So the thing that was hyped to DRM the world into a locked down hellhole rendered out the Microsoft key hard binding instead 🤷

We are siblings in RPM. Our communities have so much overlap. You are awesome and everyone needs to know!

I think I've finally figured out why I love #openSUSE Tumbleweed so much. It's simply due to it being stable AND a rolling release. It feels just great to use.

Also, as someone who loves GUIs, YaST is just a dream come true. I've tried lots of other distros, but rarely have I come back to one time and time again. #Linux

Hey @opensuse, have you responded to this yet? Because it doesn’t sound good at all and I’m trying to decide if I ever want to have anything to do with your organisation/products in any way after reading this.

Apparently, the 🇩🇪 #German #Linux company #SUSE discriminates against Jews by firing them for criticizing their No-Jewish-holidays policy.
