Meet EXTON OpSuS Rpi, a variant of Arne Exton’s old EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed distribution optimized for Raspberry Pi devices. It’s a “remaster??? of the official OpenSuSE Tumbleweed ISO image for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, using the Xfce desktop environment by default and all the necessary packages for daily use. When asked why he created yet another Linux distro, the developer said that he did it mostly for fun, and recommends EXTON OpSuS Rpi to advanced and enthusiast Linux users only as they might need to run various commands in a terminal emulator from time to time to enable things in the system or optimize various parts.
