I searched, but could not find this latest development on Thai Visa ... According to Bangkok Biz News website (in Thai language), it has now been approved by Thai Cabinet (as of 2-April-2019) to apply a health insurance requirement to Long Stay visas (Type-OA) :

The article is in Thai language (and I used Chrome browser to translate), but if accurate, that suggests that the Type-OA will be used as a 'trial' for this requirement.  Presumably the implementation will occur sometime in the near (?) future.

I'm an openSUSE user (age 65).   

Have openSUSE on 3 old PCs here in Europe (2 desktop's and 1 laptop). Laptop is Toshiba Satellite Z930. Desktops both custom: one with a core i7-4770 on a Gigabyte Z87X-DH3 motherboard and the oldest a very old core-i7-920 on an ASUSTek P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard. 

I plan to retire in Phuket in May this year (as my wife and I have already purchased a condo), and bring my laptop and Gigabyte motherboard based desktop with me, discarding the very old ASUSTek PC.

My first introduction to GNU/Linux was in Phuket in 1998 when while living in Phuket (on sabbatical for a couple of years) I installed Red Hat GNU/Linux for the first time on an ancient Compaq LTE5200 laptop.  I have not looked back since and still happy with GNU/Linux.    

I hope to drop in on this forum thread a bit more often after May this year.
