At the time of writing, I am using 5.18.1 which rolled down recently and although you can read all the cool new features from the … Continue reading KDE Plasma 5.18 on openSUSE Tumbleweed | Awesome-Sauce

Elementary OS | Review From an openSUSE User
There are some Linux distributions that have a wide audience and there are others that focus in on a specific customer or user. If I were asked to describe who I think ElementaryOS is targeting, I would certainly say, not me.

Ubuntu 19.10 | Review from an openSUSE User

Coherent Color Scheme Creation for Qt and GTK on openSUSE
I might be pushing it just a bit by saying I "created" a scheme as I just took two color schemes, Breese Dark and openSUSEdarkalternate, and created one [subjectively] better theme based on those two.
