Installing tumbleweed rn
Great distro by the way.
I wish ๐ญ
It refuses to install... I got a dell vostro 3468 running on legacy BIOS. I'm coming from windows and there's an NTFS partition full of data I'm trying to preserve...
The guided partitioning errors out(usually runs out of space, and no packages can continue installing so they throw errors), and using the expert partitioning throws a couple of grub errors at the end when it's installing grub
It was really good when I last tried it on another device
You can start out with something light, and then install packages as you go.
I generally do a barebones install and then install individual packages. By default a lot of packages are installed - most of them you don't need.
And also checkout . It is a lighter version of Opensuse and has the calmares installer. (Tumbleweed is the Gecko rolling version)
The MBR layout was the issue
When I wiped the drive, everything fixed itself!
Loving tumbleweed so far
