Description

The openSUSE distribution is a stable, easy to use and complete multi-purpose Linux distribution.

Now you can launch openSUSE 42 by typing “opensuse-42” into the command-line, or by clicking the openSUSE 42 tile in the Windows 10 Start Menu.

It is aimed towards users and developers working on the desktop or server. It is great for beginners, experienced users and ultra geeks alike, in short, it is perfect for everybody! The latest release, openSUSE Leap 42.2, features new and massively improved versions of all useful server and desktop applications. It comes with more than 1,000 open source applications.

openSUSE is also the base for SUSE's award-winning SUSE Linux Enterprise products. That's right. After basing openSUSE Leap 42.1 on SLE (SUSE Linux Enterprise), Leap 42.2 gets even more source code from the release of SLE 12 Service Pack 2. New technologies such as NVDIMM, OmniPATH, Data Plane Development Kit with openVSwitch are backported for the release. XEN no longer requires its own kernel and is supported by the default kernel. Along with the shared SLE codebase, openSUSE Leap 42.2 gets packages, maintenance and bug fixes from the openSUSE community and SUSE engineers. The 42 series of Leap achieves at a minimum 36 months of maintenance and security updates starting from 42.1.

Works exactly as intended by Devon
This app functions exactly as intended. Huge Kudo's for the OpenSuse Team for bringing this to Windows. This app does require that WSL be enabled and I suppose adding that to the description would prevent the negative reviews. With that being said, those negative reviews should be removed since they reflect user error and not the application itself.

Turn on WSL before installing by Sri
Everything worked fine for me. Great to see improvements running Linux within windows env. Just make sure you turn on Windows sub system for Linux within "Turn Windows features on/off" app

Suse development environment by Tyler
Despite the screenshots used, appears to be the cli based Linux distro environment just as the preinstalled Unbuntu Xenial with Windows 10. yast does have an ASCII based gui installer, so that's nice :).

Love SUSE, can't install on anything but C: from Store by Vincent
Love SUSE, but can't get it to install on anything but C: from the Windows 10 App Store. So this rating isn't a dig at SUSE, but at the app store. It says not enough space on C:, but the drive drop down does not include my D: (SSD).

Works great, if you know a little by Steve
1. You need to enable Windows Subsystem for Linux (Control Panel->Prog&Features->Turn Windows features on->Check WSL->Reboot. 2. Install this Screenfetch shown in the screenshot is not a GUI, it's ascii art. You can install it via "sudo zypper install screenfetch" This isn't a full install of Windows, if you want a full GUI interface and the full Linux experience, install via dual boot, or better yet, use a VM with Hyper-V or other virtualization program. I had no problems with the "man" command, tested with vim, ls, dir, zypper, and top.
