Update to IRC server information in Appendix A
In Appendix A: Help and Docs, section A.3, is the following:
You can get help in realtime using IRC (Internet Relay Chat). The IRC-client Konversation is installed by default and preconfigured to join the #suse channel on the Freenode IRC network.
However, according to the IRC page on the openSUSE Wiki, linked in the same section:
Below is a list of well-known, registered openSUSE channels. Traditionally, the Freenode IRC network (on group server address
irc.freenode.net
) has been used. With operational changes at Freenode, the community has elected to move exclusively to, the Libera network (group server addressirc.libera.chat
) as of May 2021.
My impression is that changing the current text to say "Libera" instead of "Freenode" would be more than sufficient - the history, while dramatic, is not relevant to new users.
