SuSE doesn’t get enough credit for the quality of the distribution. Transactional updates, serious work towards a reproducible distribution, nano as an excellent container runtime, stability under large workloads - it’s a nice piece of engineering.

These are some of the reasons -- besides being German, probably -- that it's one of just a couple of Linux distros certified by SAP.

Maybe now. 7.2 had a bug where they showed one unit when partitioning drives and used another one when writing to disk. Ask me how i find out.

I think I've encountered bugs in every distro's installer from 24 years ago. Fortunately, in 86box it's less painful than I imagine you went through.

Out of curiosity, are you referring to MicroOS? I know they're written some container tools like catatonit but I haven't heard of nano.

Hey, do you like reproducible builds? I'm doing some more patches this year... especially the core packages are getting in good shape now. The others have 1-2% packages with issues left.
