GNOME 3.22 Now Available On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

[horizonbrave]

good on you openSuse!
do you still do crazy shit like "auto-installing" flash after installation at first update??
I also wish Geckolinux to finish soon putting all things together for an update of their rolling version..

wrong, there is Wayland 1.12

As I said. This is the protocol version.

I'm not OpenSUSE but I'm running a current OpenSUSE Leap (not the betas) since like 4 months, and after countless updatens and software installations, flash player is still NOT installed (the chromium pepper flash was installed as per my orders when I installed chromium).

Here the installed packages are marked with a "i" on the left.

I haven't used OpenSUSE in a while but my recollection was that while the software updater didn't constantly reinstall packages from that default installation that you purposefully removed, the package manager would. Anytime I used the package manager I'd have to go uncheck all the crappy games I removed because it would reinstall them if I didn't. That's probably what OP was talking about.

I'm on Opensuse now though my flash problem was fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the components after an update through the package manager. Though I'm running tumbleweed which has been way more stable for me than the periodic releases ever were.

There's always been some nagging bug on something basic but non system shattering though like manually having to setup wi fi and the icon info not changing afterwards making it look disconnected(13.2). Or like now the distro update icon fails cause it trips over something else so you gotta run zypper from the terminal after it stops trying to do its thing. Seen the bug reported by at least some others but still seems to linger. Pity cause I love most of the ideas they develop so I'd probably stop distro hopping even with the rather long extra repo adding you have to do to make it usable (thanks to legal reasons not them) if stuff like that stopped popping up.

you could just uncheck the checkbox "install recommended software" in the menu in yast-software?
for the zypper command line you can also just uncheck it in /etc/zypper/zypper.conf or zypp.conf - I forgot which one...

with tumbleweed you only need packman as an additional repo. and games:tools if you need playonlinux.

does Tumble have Wayland 1.12 ?

1.11 at the moment. (First I thought 1.12.99 but I had pontostroys d3dnine repo activated)
1.12 was released 5 days ago. So they are indeed a bit late here
