⛔ Latest #Emacs (29.1-1.1) is broken on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Running emacs fails w/ a cryptic message.

💡The solution is to launch it using any of emacs-gtk or emacs-x11 or emacs-nox.

💡If your workflow relies on Emacs daemon like mine does, then simply evaluate (server-start) in the scratch buffer.

Hopefully the fix will be out very soon.

    If you’re using Wayland, and are interested in being able to keep multiple versions installed in parallel: I have packages for emacs 28 (X11/GTK) and 29/30 (pgtk only, with warning on X11 disabled) here.

    As I don’t have the other toolkit variants packaged I don’t have a need for that wrapper script, and emacs is just a link to the actual binary via the alternatives mechanism.
