Installation I love OpenSUSE, I used it when its version was 9. I remember the beautiful KDE, perfectly working YaST. Or maybe I am just old enough so that all those things seem nice to me.
Long story short after long period of using fedora/ubuntu I decided to find out how good OpenSUSE is. I took my Intel NUC, put the flash drive with dowloaded image in it, and pressed power button.

Here I am going to create a VM. Since I’ve never tried CentOS 5, I decided to give it a shot. It has the old good sysv init system, it’s old, not obsolete. By this examle I will show you how to create and manage QEMU/KVM virtual machine without GUI utilities. First of all create a virtual disk of the desired size. Here for example, we will create a 20 GB disk with the raw disk format: You can also try to use qcow2 format which gives you some additional benefits.

I am a happy owner of Inetl NUC computer. Recently I installed Fedora on it (right after I tested it as a VM). It was minimal installation. After I had logged in, I noticed that wireless network interface was unavailable. Quite wierd, taking into account that it worked fine during the installation process.
I looked around, device was connected:
# lspci ... 3a:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78) .

Let me start with saying that I have been an ubuntu guy. Back in 2008 I met ubuntu first time, since than I have used different linux operating systems. In 2014 I switched to deb-based distros on my desktop. For some reason every time I tried redhat-like OS, the venture failed. Every time some crap happened. In addition, I don’t really like neither the current fedora artwork nor its fonts.
