openSUSE Tumbleweed Part 3

After a bit of thinking earlier, I decided to test MP3 playback in Tumbleweed, though I was quite sure results were going to be positive - which they were.

When I thought about how I actually use Triela, I realized I don't really use her for video playback all that much (if at all), and so it's not deathly important that she does.

I suppose somewhere along all this testing over the last couple years, I lost sight of the importance of the installation purpose, or in other words, asking yourself "What/how do I use this installation?". I'm not sure when I started using Triela as the basis for being able to install a new version of openSUSE on Mei-chan and Melty, but it's where I lost purpose.

For testing, it's okay to make sure Triela can play back video, so I know whether or not to spend my time installing it on Mei-chan and Melty (and also Lie-chan); for actual use, Triela doesn't really need to be able to play back video.

Sorry for the sentimentality, but it's something that sort of happens when you realise you've lost focus on what really matters.

At this point, there's not a whole lot of difference between Tumbleweed and 13.2 in terms of video playback, so it doesn't matter much on which I install over 13.1 on Triela, but I will need to decide, as it's a long wait to do an upgrade/downgrade via repository.
