![]() The Fedora Magazine site has the release announcement: You can download Fedora 24 Workstation right now for your computer. But that really is a gross simplification of their overall state, and with a small amount of effort either of these could be made just as suitable for any task as the other one.Fedora is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions, and now version 24 has been released. If you are a more advanced user, or you are interested in learning more in depth about Linux, then you might be a bit happier with Fedora. I will go out on a limb a bit (get ready for indignant comments) and say that if you are an ordinary/casual user, and you just want to install Linux and then use your computer for everyday tasks, you might be a bit happier with openSuSE Leap. I'm certainly not going to surprise anyone by saying that both of these are top-quality distributions, and most users are likely to be happy with either one. The specific details and differences in these are going to be much more dependent on which version and desktop of either distribution you choose, more than the distribution itself. The details are going to depend on which versions/desktops you are looking at, but in general terms they both include web browsers, mail/contact management, LibreOffice, image/photo management and editing (for hard core users, openSuSE includes GIMP in the base distribution but Fedora does not, but it can be easily installed through the Software Management utility), audio/video/multimedia playing and management, and more. Hands on with openSuSE 13.1: Another outstanding releaseįor the rest of the distribution contents, Fedora and openSuSE are not all that different. On the other hand, openSuSE has the latest KDE Plasma 5 desktop, and from what I have seen so far it is working extremely well, while the Fedora KDE spin seems to be struggling with some instability both in the software and in its development ranks ( Kevin Kofler recently resigned from the Fedora KDE SIG, and had some harsh comments about how he thought the KDE development was being treated). I was reading a few different places and saw some comments from the openSuSE developers that they had decided not to go to Gnome 3.18 because it came out too late in their development cycle, and they wanted to stay with what they already knew was the stable 3.16 release. With Fedora that is Gnome, and Fedora 23 includes Gnome 3.18 while openSuSE Leap includes Gnome 3.16. As I mentioned above, although both distributions offer a variety of desktops, each has its own preferred desktop. The difference is also apparent in their desktops, although I suspect that this is a combination of difference in attitude and priority. ![]() For the comparison I'm on just above, Tumbleweed currently has Linux kernel 4.2.4, so it is essentially the same as Fedora 23. If 'leading-edge' is what you are after, then openSuSE Tumbleweed is what you should be comparing to Fedora. Remember, though, that what I am talking about here is openSuSE Leap, which is their stable distribution. This difference will increase as time goes by, because Fedora gets frequent updates so that it stays on (or close to) the leading edge, while openSuSE Leap focuses much more on stability and continuity. Fedora is more of an aggressively 'leading edge' distribution, so in various places it has newer packages than openSuSE Leap - for example, Linux kernel 4.2.5 in Fedora and 4.1.12 in openSuSE. Once the distributions are installed, you can start to see some of the differences between them. The Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter is also not supported in the openSuSE Leap base installation, but after adding the packman repositories, I was able to download and install the driver and it is working just fine. After installing Fedora 23, and adding the rpmfusion repositories (both free and non-free), it is still not recognized. This is a well known trouble spot, and I mentioned it in my original post about that system, but it had been working with Fedora 22. I have run into only one operational problem, with Fedora 23 on my Acer Aspire E11, which has a Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter. I have installed both of them on a variety of systems of both types, and I have not had any installation problems. Both of these distributions support MBR (Legacy Boot) and UEFI systems, and on UEFI they both support Secure Boot.
