How free is opensuse? (lemmy.zip)

I'm thinking about using suse slowroll but I'm concerned about SUSE's wishy washy policy on free software. Are there any programs that aren't free software in the OSS repo?

What "wishy-washy" policy are you on about?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that they keep saying "open source" instead of free software. Also they seem to just assume that you will want to use non-free software out if the box.

Then yes, there are all kinds of things in the repositories that are going to annoy you.
