Hi all.
I'm looking to install a new distro, after using Mint and Kubuntu for a long time. I'm trying to choose whether to try Manjaro or OpenSUSE.
Sure, I can install both and can look around. But I'm wondering is there is anyone here who uses either of these distros who might be aware of issues not readily apparent. Intended desktop is KDE.
Note: I want to be able to use Dupeguru, Spotify, Skype and Signal, apps that under *buntu require auxilliary PPA repositories. Some of these are dealbreakers if I can't use them.
There are snaps for all those except Dupeguru (I don't see RPMs for it anywhere either, so it looks like .deb from PPA or .spec RPM build are it). Manjaro and OpenSUSE run snapd with no issues, so you ought to be able to tick 3 of the 4 boxes (snap search <software name>) returns: signal-desktop 1.16.0 snapcrafters - Signal Private Messenger for Windows, Mac, and Linux skype 8.28.0.41 skype✓ classic One Skype for all your devices. New features. New look. All Skype. spotify 1.0.88.353.g15c26ea1-14 spotify✓ - Music for everyone Cheers, Jamon
