OpenSuse 11.3 fixes I want!

[renegadeviking]

According to this one statistical site, OpenSuse is behind Ubuntu in popularity.

What I want for OpenSuse 11.3

- a Deblin co-kernel so i can install deb packages in OpenSuse. 30 MB more can fit on DVD! Reads both Deb and RPM.
- a real Ubuntu gnome GUI option in Gnome. Fedora Gnome looks like Ubuntu
- fix those Dlink 108 Mbit WiFi PCI drivers. I can't get mine to work. In Ubuntu or Fedora it works. Not in OpenSuse 11.2
- I want the video driver to come off the Deblin co-kernel, because the slowness in OpenSuse w/o an official nVidia driver is inexcusable in this day of age. Steal Ubuntu's video driver one.
- I want a non-OSS CD that carries audio/video codec and video drivers to return.
- I want both WINE and Linux Unified Kernel up and running in the GUI just like Suse 9.0 Pro.

That's all folks.

Sounds like you want a Ubuntu. Why not just use Ubuntu?

I think you can run deb on Suse the problem is that once you introduce a different package manager you introduce a new place to have problems RPM would not have information about DEB packages and DEB would not know RPM. Dependencies would truly be hell.

There are legal issues on distributing audio/video codecs on the install.

WiFi is a real problem most devices are now supported by the kernel and though it worked for you in RH and Ubuntu there may be other devices that don't but do in Suse. Almost all can be supported in all flavors with fairly minor tweaking. Some don't work on Windows either unless you install their drivers. Until the device manufacturers supply drivers for Linux this area will continue to be a mess.

Also I think you do not understand what a kernel is.

Sure gogalthorp!

Some folks don't seem to understand that you first have to load the kernel and initrd.
And after that you can boot in linux.
And after that you can open a GUI.
And that you also can do everything without a GUI.
