SuSE doesn’t get enough credit for the quality of the distribution. Transactional updates, serious work towards a reproducible distribution, nano as an excellent container runtime, stability under large workloads - it’s a nice piece of engineering.

These are some of the reasons -- besides being German, probably -- that it's one of just a couple of Linux distros certified by SAP.

Hey, do you like reproducible builds? I'm doing some more patches this year... especially the core packages are getting in good shape now. The others have 1-2% packages with issues left.

Out of curiosity, are you referring to MicroOS? I know they're written some container tools like catatonit but I haven't heard of nano.

Maybe now. 7.2 had a bug where they showed one unit when partitioning drives and used another one when writing to disk. Ask me how i find out.

I think I've encountered bugs in every distro's installer from 24 years ago. Fortunately, in 86box it's less painful than I imagine you went through.
