Hi,
I am a long time Linux user that settled on openSUSE. I've been quite interested in this distro since I discovered it some months ago. I love openSUSE but wanted to try a purely QT5-geared distro and it's nice that it's more lightweight. I was waiting to try it until the 2015.11 ISO was released. Well, I installed it, but it wasn't without difficulty. I have a dedicated HDD for Linux so no mucking with other HDDs or partitions. I need UEFI for my setup. I made a disk image on my USB flash drive with the openSUSE Imagewriter on another computer. It turns out the reason the install kept failing was because, for some reason, it booted as BIOS instead of UEFI (I have no idea why). The only reason I figured this out was because I looked at the debug information in the installer. I burned the DVD ISO image (even though my drive supports 8x burning minimum instead of the recommended 4x) and it installed pretty much without issue. However, there was one problem. Upon booting into the live environment with both the flash drive and DVD my mouse (a Logitech G600 Gaming mouse) was not functioning properly. Left or right clicking resulted in the cursor jumping all the way to the left side of screen and left clicks were not registered. Fortunately I had a seperate old generic Logitech mouse I used to start the installation and I'm still using it now.
A question about two apps: I frequently use Akregator and KRename. Neither one of these appear to be packaged. Is that correct? It also appears that neither of these have been ported to Qt5/KF5. Is that correct as well? Is that why they're not packaged?
