    I'm stuck (probably not, though) on an old tumbleweed version because something in my networking setup gets borked when I upgrade on a headless server I have running (I know, tumbleweed isn't for servers, this is why). I just reverted to the snapshot it made before upgrading and bam, like nothing happened.

    I should get that worked out, but it works fine, so...

    Hey there! Isn't MicroOS for servers? It's still openSUSE, but specifically for servers. I could be wrong though! :)

    [–] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    I don't think it's specifically for servers, it's just their immutable distro. I tried it out a smidge on my cheap laptop, it was interesting. My laptop only has 32gb, so anything immutable really wasn't a good fit for it. I wasn't really a big fan of everything I add to it being flatpaks, either.

    I think I have enough experience with Linux at this point that an immutable distro is more of an inconvenience to me. I don't think it would have saved me from my predicament any more than using a non-rolling distro, since this is an OS update, not anything to do with anything I did. Really my biggest setback is that this server is working just fine, so my laziness is letting me not spend a few hours to redo it right and I'm pretty sure I could just run yast and reconfigure the networking and be fine. It really was just going to be a practice/dev server so I could see if I could set things up in an environment that didn't have many handholding tutorials, the leap server it was dev for ended up moving to Debian because it started running things that I actually wanted to be sure were stable. In my infinite wisdom, this one took over the leap server's job without changing the OS.

    Really, I could have just swapped drives since I was rebuilding in Debian anyway, but Homie don't play like dat.

    Haha! Thank you for the explanation! I never looked into MicroOS, because I heard of Tumbleweed and wanted to give it a go since I tried one distro (it has been so long I can't even remember right now) and didn't like it too much.

    Yeah, when things are working, and it might take a day or so to setup something else completely, I definitely understand your hesitation! :)
