No, no, this is the peak OS installation menu:
😜
Oh hey, I remember that screen. I have seen it many times. Many, many times. Oh God, so many times.
I was genuinely about to say how the openSUSE installer looks incredibly similar to the Windows XP one
Everyone is nostalgic to XP so they decide to make part of a different operating system look very similar to it just for nostalgia sake
No, Ark Linux (not Arch) had Tetris in their installer, so we could play while we waited. It has been discontinued unfortunately.
Wow I’d never heard of anything like that before, that’s pretty dang cool.
I know some Minecraft mod packs used to have pong integrated in their loading screens.
Small history lesson for those interested: the reason we didn’t see much of this sort of thing is because Namco actually had it patented, up until late 2015. Originally, you could play Galaxian while you waited for Ridge Racer to load! (At the expense of everyone else being able to have little loading screen games…)
Just because of the loading bar? You’re easy to please 😁.
You apparently haven’t tried Ubuntu in 20 years? Canonical has had a very clean Windows-ish experience forever, though even back in the day, Suse always had a pretty decent one as well.
Not just loading bar it’s everything about the aesthetic in the menu, logo on the top, installation steps on the side and loading bar on the middle just enough to fill the screen while not being too crowded or overwhelming
And then there’s the installation options that look and behave exactly like a regularly themed Qt application (which it probably is). Wonderful!
Okay, I’m coming from Gentoo and Debian, cut me some slack, I’m easy to please regarding installers :-P
Was just kidding 😁 Keep that feeling, it’s a great one ! I love to see other people enjoying such simple but powerful brain flooding dopamine ! That awwwwww moment is really enjoayble, for others and yourself !
Hope you will have fun with openSUSE ! I’m also thinking to switch from Debian to OpenSUSE for my daily drive. Debian as server is fantastic, but got some quirks running it with backports and testing.
Maybe a skill issue? Probably, but trying something different will give me the necessary boost to find out 😄
When I look at it as a thumbnail, it looks like the installation box is popping out of my phone. When I fulllscreen it, the illusion vanishes for me.
Well there was also gobo Linux, which would let you play Tetris while the installation did its thing.
