I've been reading some of the reviews about openSUSE 13.1, so I thought I'd give it a look. I downloaded and burned the live KDE version and gave it a spin. Very nice, except for one thing so far. When I go to run anything from Libre Office and click either Office (working from memory here as I don't have it running here at work) or any of the specific applications from the sub-menu, there is a visual indication it has been selected, then nothing. As far as I can tell, everything else works fine, which made me think the burn was fine. I burned the .iso with Brasero at 2X because I have in the past run into errors when telling various burning apps to burn at maximum speed.
Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm assuming it's just me, but I thought I'd throw the question out there just in case.
Regardless, I am seriously thinking about installing this on my laptop because it simply looks great. I do have one other question, though. I know that the live KDE version has fewer applications than the install DVD (and fewer window managers and desktop environments). I also read it can't be used to upgrade an existing installation, which is fine; this would be a fresh install. Are there any other differences I should be aware of or any other things I need to be aware of if installing from the live KDE instead of the full DVD? (Does the latter allow selection of specific applications or application groups to install or leave out? Or do you install everything then weed things out afterward?)
Sorry to combine so much into one post, but I'm excited about trying this and wanted to gather all of the information into as few sources as possible. Thanks.
