KDE Plasma, as it’s most Windows-like and it has lots of cool widgets to add to your desktop Windows 7-style.

I’ve also tried Gnome, but I found it confusing and honestly a bit annoying. Not being able to properly minimise like I’m used to just really throws me off. I do think the visual style is well-designed, though.

I’ve tried Cinnamon as well. I thought it looked a bit too cheap for my taste, at least by default on Mint.

I couldn’t get it to install… Something about ldconfig not being in the path.

I’ll try pip later, then…

EDIT: never mind, this is a barebones version (‘lmster’) anyway.

But going back to version 0.3.39-2 (which I found here) works perfectly, so great!

EDIT AGAIN: not quite perfectly. It wouldn’t start Gemma 4 giving an error about its architecture. Seems like it’s too new a model? I’m now trying 0.4.6-1 and this version does run Gemma 4.

You mean the Debian installer? Seems like a bad idea on OpenSUSE.

EDIT: looking in the bug reports on Github, I’ve found a very recent bug report identical to what I’ve described, so it doesn’t seem to be isolated at least.

It detects my hardware at least, but for whatever reason the Hub is empty and I can’t download the default Jan model… But it works when I import the models manually.

Thanks for the tips. How do I go about doing this? What I’ve tried is run LM Studio from the console with --no-sandbox. No idea if that has something to do with what you’re referring to.

I’ve also tried running it with sudo, which gives this error message:

Real connoiſſeurs uſe the long s.

My desktop PC ran Windows 10 and didn’t have the magic Windows 11 chip. I tried to do some easy things to get it to recognise my PC as having that chip anyway, but it didn’t work, and I was a bit afraid it’d run like shit with 11 anyway.

So I just decided to try something different and install Linux. First on an old little laptop I had lying around. I tried Mint first, then OpenSUSE - the first because it was supposed to be easy to newcomers, the latter because it’s German (and I liked the way it felt when I tried it on my laptop).

After trying it for a bit, I just decided I’d install it on my desktop as I didn’t want to use Windows 10 without security updates anyway. I’ve now been using OpenSUSE Leap for about half a year, and I’m quite happy.

Ah, alright then. I thought I could use YaST’s GUI, but then I just need to do it using the terminal.

Isn’t it possible to make a manual snapshot?

It worked, so thank you!

I don’t read anything about that being the recommended method, but I’ll give it a shot and try that tomorrow, then.
