    did i see non free testing in this release of openSUSE? and by the way.
    btrfs should be a safe choice
    They Disabled many BtrFS features to make it safe.
    By default, only the ?safe? features of btrfs are enabled in openSUSE

      In related news to OpenSuse & Qt5:
      OpenSuSE 12.3 was included in the CI now. It will build with the same configurations as Ubuntu 10.04 and will eventually replace it.
      I'm not sure what it means but I guess it's bad news for Ubuntu and good for OpenSuse.

        Qt Development has moved away from Ubuntu to openSUSE??

          Makes sense: Opensuse has KDE as its most used desktop environment, which in turn is Not only Qt-based (since age) but is slowly evolving as sort of "Qt+" extension collection (Kdelibs has been split into module and some a backported into Qt, the other being converted into extension, and the last part only being KDE-specific stuff). Suse also invests into KDE (developper time, etc).

          Meanwhile: Ubuntu is a mess (with Unity 8 eventually become Qt based once they got their shit together, and Kubuntu being pushed aside by canonical).

          OpenSUSE 13.1 RC1 is shipping with KDE $.11.2, Linux 3.11 + Lots of Btrfs fixes{...}
          Michael, you let your "SHIFT" key down. That should have been "KDE 4.11.2".

              Stable my ass. Btrfs still doesn't have a fully working fsck. One that just detects errors but is unable to do anything about them is not really helping.

                Those 25+ btrfs bug fixes have made upstream? They have landed at any 3.12 rcX kernel release?

                  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that all ZFS does, too?

                  A copy-on-write filesystem should be far less likely to have problems that require fsck.
