The Pragmatic Programmer, Your Journey to Mastery and Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices are both books I found very helpful.

So I suppose you never use a browser to run a web application on the desktop :thinking_face: Anyway it;s a client server architecture designed for remote installation on servers as well as local installations. It makes sense to have one installer do both.

As to the old installer, when you knew about the un-obvious features, it was brilliant from a user perspective, but I’m willing to bet that from a developer perspective, it was hard to maintain, hard to add new features to, and fragile.

That’s kind of like asking why we’re not all driving Ford Model T cars, after all you could drive in them just fine. Technology moves on, best practice moves on, Hell, everything moves on.

A quick glance at the Agama repository suggests that the server is written in rust and the front end in react. I’ve no idea how it all works in practice as I don’t use Tumbleweed any more. I really liked the yast installer but it was getting old.

Why isn’t everyone working on Arch instead of wasting time with all those other distros?

Trump’s actions don’t even make sense, let alone meet any standard of fairness or intelligence.

They do if you look at him like a foreign agent, working to take down the US.

How often do you look at your keyboard anyway?

More than I care to admit!

The difference is that most of your software is built for your distribution, the only exception being some proprietary shit that says it supports Linux, but in reality only supports Ubuntu. That’s my pet peeve just so that you know!

You’ll never get perfect binary compatibility because different distros use different versions of libraries. Consider Debian and Arch which are at the opposite ends of the scale.
