Take a look at the Tumbleweed page.
> Any user who wishes to have the newest packages that include, but are not limited to, the Linux kernel, SAMBA, git, desktops, office applications and many other packages, will want Tumbleweed.
They're "selling" (giving it away, but you get it) the system on having the most up-to-date packages. Whether you, personally, want the latest packages is not really relevant. It's one of the defining features of Tumbleweed. If users want a more stable (as in unchanging, not as in less prone to crashing) system then there's Leap, Debian or CentOS.
In openSUSE KDE is not the red headed stepchild like it is with either Ubuntu or Fedora. The best move you will ever make in Linux is getting away from the Ubuntu world. I have never been able to figure out the attraction for those who like Ubuntu. Instead of stock openSUSE I would look at Gecko Linux, which is openSUSE with extra codecs and a lot of rough edges sanded off. My particular favorite fix is keeping SUSE from loading unwanted packages over and over again. Gecko offers every version that openSUSE does and a couple of extra DE's too. As far as trying to emulate Windows, why? I think you will find that KDE, and pretty much all Linux DE's, are superior to the crap that Microsoft has been pushing for so long. The real beauty of Linux is that you can tailor the environment to your preferences and not have to do things the way someone else tells you to. Start moving elements of your environment around and find out what you prefer. I guarantee that Windows is not a superior way of doing things. People just get used to it and think it is OK. When you finally get KDE configured to your personal taste you will laugh at the silliness of Windows. One thing that KDE can do that I find very useful is the ability to put window controls at either the left or the right (or both in my case) top corners. I would go with something where you can get at least Plasma 5.8 as there have been a lot of improvements recently. Go with a rolling release so that you can keep up to date. Gecko Rolling Plasma is a good choice.
> I use some tools, ProtonVPN being one, that funnily enough, have Linux packages for Fedora, Ubuntu/Debian, and Arch, but nothing for openSUSE.
ProtonVPN is an odd example because there are many ways to use it on openSUSE - either the official CLI or setting it up via openvpn. That said, Fedora packages usually work as well unless the package has a lot of intertwined dependencies.
> Other gripes: I find managing OBS repositories annoying, and also got annoyed by how often there ended up being conflicts from packman/codecs
I came from Debian so managing obs repos seems like child's play compared to my , but I do understand this one.
> Patterns are also sort of weird, because if you have a pattern enabled, but you remove a package from that pattern, it ends up installing that package again on a new snapshot because of the pattern. So you have to remove the pattern instead.
No, you don't. Remove the package you want and then lock the package with zypper. Patterns function that way so that new packages can be added to a pattern. If I have xfce installed, and tumbleweed rolls to the next version, this method of using the pattern means that I will get any new packages that were added in the next version. If I don't want mousepad or whatever, I just remove it and lock it and I'm all set.
I may be mistaken but what I think they mean is, they are opposed to maintaining the desktop for others outside of the official repositories of downstream distros. it is officially in debian , and arch, not as a separate repository or AUR. So what I think they want to happen is, oS devs to do the initial work of incorporating budgie into official oS repos, and after that, if there are compatibility issues or bugs, solus team will be happy to work together to iron out the issues. that's my understanding from the post.
Umm... use Firefox? Or Brave? Or Vivaldi? Anyhow I think you're looking for this project: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
You probably need to compile it as it seems it's released for Debian.
I imagine you know about TLP? It's in the openSUSE repos, you just install it and enable the service, and it automatically tunes a bunch of parameters to automatically reduce power usage considerably. It's by far the most effective change you can make to reduce power usage.
JIC you haven't heard of it, Gecko is a downstream distro you might also be interested in.
I had issues with the way openSUSE groups its desktop packages, and Gecko addresses this.
If you want a live iso, you can build your self in SUSE studio or download a openSUSE derivative, however mind it's not official openSUSE.
A good derivative is GeckoLinux.
To prepare a usb stick from an iso image run:
sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
OpenSUSE lets you choose which protocol is used to build the graphical interface. You can learn about this on freedesktop.org, but you might be asking for a simple answer to a practical question. That is, "Which option should I choose, why, and what difference does it make?"
A lot of the packages you mention are available through flatpak or snap. That way you don't have to add repos, the applications are isolated, so they can be less buggy (firefox), and you don't have to deal with codecs and such.
The best way to manage repos, in my opinion is to not have to manage them.
I highly recommend flatpak
Maybe you should use deepl.com for are better translation from hungarian to english. From your description which nearly give no information at all i am pretty sure no one can help you without a long and slow question and answer session.

It's has a lot of features and is very customizable out of the box, if that's something that interests you. You can even do a type of simple programming (command chains) in the browser to create your own workflows. Some people have complained that the GUI is not as responsive as other browsers and that could be the case on some hardware (I only use it on a higher-end desktop PC, so I don't notice a difference). Parts of Vivaldi are also not open source, which is a deal-breaker for some.
Short Answer: Install Gecko Linux (openSUSE derivative). Long answer: You can install openSUSE Leap, but you may run into some restrictions regarding media codecs and some font configurations. Granted, you can solve the codec issue by just adding the 'Packman' repo. But if you want something that fixed these issues for you and 'just works'...Gecko Linux.
I'd recommend checking out the unofficial OpenSUSE Leap guide here, it address some of your questions.
I'd say the distro is appropriate for novice users, but requires a bit of setup to get things like multimedia codecs working. (Just adding a repository and knowing which packages to add, which is covered in the guide I just linked.)
A distro called Gecko Linux is basically OpenSUSE with the legwork of setting up codecs and tweaking WI-Fi configuration for a more out of the box experience already done.
Steam works well, and is installed like any other package, but skype is pretty much broken in my experience (actually, I've never got it working on any Linux distro).
I can't speak to the design philosophy, as I'm relatively new to the distro.
One unique thing about the SUSE family of distros is that they have some fantastic configuration tools in the form of YAST2, which is analogous to the windows control panel, but much more powerful (and complex). One sub-tool of YAST, called snapper, is similar to windows system restore points in functionality.
With snapper, whenever you install a package it creates a snapshot. If something breaks, you can boot from it. This effectively means that you'll never have a broken system due to new software. You can also compare snapshots with each other or the running system, which is great for troubleshooting.
I'm sure someone who's more familiar with OpenSUSE can give you a better rundown, but those are my favorite points.
Edit: Broke up my wall of text into paragraphs.
There is a pretty good open-source Google play music desktop player available for all Linux distros. You can just go over to their website and download the package (when it asks debian or fedora use fedora, 64 or 32 bit, depending on your system). Then unpack it using:
rpm -i Google-playblahblah.rpm
And then you will have a neat Google play music desktop player.
Good luck!
OK, I've tried building this for TW and even the latest beta blows up.

Pretty crappy attitude. Sorry, your best option is to get their tarball and go from there. We cannot revert to Qt 5.9 in TW, that's for sure. In their beta forum, help for Qt 5.11 builds was dismissed with a "I don't have time answer."
Linode employee here - Linode has a guide that goes over how to use Object Storage. After you set up your Object Storage key pair and configure any bucket policies, you can upload images to your bucket a few ways. You can either use the Linode CLI, s3cmd, or an application like Cyberduck. This particular guide also features a YouTube tutorial from Jay LaCroix.

Grabbed their cert with this command...

That looks selfsigned to me. Which means you must agree to accept it manually in weechat by turning off verification for that server or use a different server.
Yeah there's a bunch of small things like VPN clients (was really bummed out by Mozilla VPN because I wanted to support them so I turned to Mullvad) only having .deb binaries, but it's even worse when they have .rpms with a few broken package names that you have to troubleshoot, and if you don't have it installed install, then finally set it to ignore the dependency.
Ubuntu is popular because its parent company spends a lot of time doing newsworthy stuff such as reinventing the wheel over and over (/s), and generally being controversial (eg. minimal upstream contribs & paid for search data).
It's all those column inches that have made it successful, not the actual distribution. Brand > quality and certainly helped it have SteamOS based on it (why not Debian, who knows).
OFC all the above is biased opinion based on old news and testing. Ubuntu would be the last distribution I'd recommend to anyone.
OpenSUSE (on anything) and CentOS (long life servers) are my preferred distributions and where I put my money. Although technically completely separate from SUSE/Novel and Redhat; I like the fact they (and associated communities) champion lots of projects and bring a lot of value to the Linux & FOSS community as a whole.
OBS - can be found in packman for recording and streaming
and Kdenlive (in stock repo) for editing & recording
You may end up adding pacman anyway for additional codecs (x264).

You download the image from VirtualBox website and open it with VirtualBox itself.
Why do you have drive letters under TW? Are you trying to load the iso from a guest?
Not according to Canonical as far as web browsers are concerned. The latest release, 21.10, of Ubuntu desktop has Snap Firefox pre-installed. If you upgrade to 21.10 it will replace your .deb version with a Snap too.
You can remove it and install a more traditional .deb version for now, but if all goes according to plan version 22.04 onwards will have Snap Firefox only. If you don't want Snap Firefox you'll need to use Flatpak or download the distro agnostic release from Mozilla.
As for Ubuntu based flavours that link states: "If you run one of the flavours, you won’t be affected - yet."
I read some users are installing Chromium deb packages from Debian repos in Ubuntu as that's already been replaced by a Snap package in Ubuntu.
The 21.10 release notes mention some crash and graphics bugs in the Firefox snap. I've no idea if they've been fixed yet as I don't really follow Ubuntu news much.
You'll notice the people in the bug have email addresses ending in "@suse.com", so yes, it is likely that the guy who introduced the breaking change has a boss who will yell at him if he refuses to fix it as instructed by the other guy.
If this situation arose in a community-created distro like Debian or Arch, there would be no bosses or employees, and instead some person who's irritated with the bug would submit a fix themselves, and it would be accepted by the distro's maintainers, unless the original breaking change was made by the maintainers and they didn't think it was a problem. In that case, people who were annoyed by this would probably jump ship or fork the distro.
> Or let's be honest that dispute like this happens day in and day out and we shouldn't be surprised? If that's the case, I may want to ask another question: how can this be secure if whether a bug should be fixed depends on a contributor's mood? What about other distros?
Having worked in software professionally using a non-public bug tracker, let me assure you that this is definitely a common occurrence--including people not wanting fix bugs because they're in a bad mood or their feelings get hurt during the discussion. It's incredibly common. One advantage of the open-source world IMHO is that anyone can submit a fix, patch the software themselves, or fork the project in the absolute worst-case scenario.
Unless they are a PKI certificate authority, the issuer should never be themselves.
eg. reddit's says

KDE is at least as light on memory as xfce. It's developers put alot of time into optimising it's memory usage and even the XFCE guys admit they just don't have the same level of resources. I use Opensuse KDE on a 2GB laptop, no problems.
That said, check out Gecko's xfce spin. It's pretty nice and just a customized opensuse.
Continuing from what Gabriel said, whilst openSUSE is quite different from Mint, something like Geckolinux might ease the transition, as it's essentially the Linux Mint of openSUSE. You'd still be able to learn the all different ins and outs of how things are done in SUSE, but with a similar environment to Mint.
Just thought I'd mention it. :)
Both openSUSE and Fedora offer great Gnome and KDE experiences. My opinion is that openSUSE is better suited for non geeks than Fedora. However, if you need a Fedora station working out of the box, you might try Korora. Between openSUSE and Fedora, there is for sure no bad choice.
There's the enterprise version, SLES. You can download a free trial from their website: http://www.suse.com/

It's an installation and configuration tool. It has both a GUI for desktops and a terminal variant too. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST
You don't have to use YaST post-install. You can still use the usual tools and edit config files yourself. In fact, YaST isn't installed by default in MicroOS, or at least not in the Pi image I'm using. I believe it's that way to keep the dependencies to an absolute minimum.
Yes, as the www.opensuse.org website is primarily focused on attracting new people, the behaviour you've spotted is actually intentional.
The features you suggest, which are primarily of interest to existing openSUSE users, are all present on https://www.opensuse.org/searchPage
This page should become the new default homepage in openSUSE's Firefox, as soon as we package the stuff up and push it out.
We didn't want to do that until the new website was out..was a bit of a chicken and egg scenario..now we've got both the chicken and the egg, now we just need to get everything hatching
> there were no new releases since 10.4
Which was released on August 15, 2017. If barely a year after the last release is enough to get the boot from openSUSE, Xfce fans need to worry – its last release was in 2015.
Hi. I don't really have large experience in video editing; All I've ever used is PiTiVi -- I found it to be quite user-friendly, but still powerful enough. But there might be dozens of better programmes... Just hit your favourite search engine ;-)
But some info could also help: Do you want to make screencasts? Or is it for editing your videos? Do you want it to be more powerful or more easy to use? Are you using KDE/Qt or Gnome/GTK?
as /u/idontchooseanid said, the openSUSE part at least is very simple, with one caveat -- if you clone the whole disk using a block-level tool like dd or clonezilla, DO NOT then allow both disks to be mounted simultaneously -- two partitions will both have the same partition UUID and everything will blow up. If you create new partitions and copy the contents, or if you change the copied partition's uuid before first mounting it, everything is ok.
See the first "gotcha" here: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas This is also mentioned in the clonezilla docs: https://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone/10-clone-finishes.doc
After cloning, if you did update the partition uuid's, you may have to update /etc/fstab and your bootloader config if they reference any disks by UUID.
Windows is more tricky, may work or may not depending on how their hardware licensing checks feel today.
It has been bugging me for a while that I had to start the daemon service by hand. What worked for me was to replace Wants=network.target
with Requires=network.target
in /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon.service and then copy this file to /etc/systemd/system/. Finally you need to sudo systemctl enable mullvad-daemon.service
one more time and it should work. Hope that helps.
This is what I found for KDE in a sense the settings are pretty much the same I use NordVPN and utilise the cli way I didn’t even add it to my vpn network on settings just easier for me to hop on a terminal login and connect easily
Here's the thing: just about any VPN provider will, along with their official app, provide a way to download configuration files for OpenVPN and/or Wireguard. Both of these can be imported into NetworkManager and used without issue. So in terms of which ones work on Tumbleweed, any should work.
What I would suggest is doing your research and funding a VPN provider that you trust more than the others, and use them. If you're going for high privacy, I've heard Mullvad is best for that. NordVPN is the one with all the sponsored YouTube videos. PrivateInternetAccess sponsors some stuff, including FreeNode servers. ProtonVPN is from the same people as ProtonMail. Those are the main ones that come to mind.
Wants=basic.target After=basic.target network.target
Change your after's to be this and give it a go. Reading the rest of the comments I have to agree, it doesn't seem like it's running but I can't see an issue when compared to my systemd setup.
You can also run systemctl | grep -i "network\|resolve"
to make sure that your units listed in wants= and after= are active and running.
Last resort, run it by hand and see what it does. /opt/<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mullvad.net/">Mullvad</a>\x20VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps

From the man page:

Download a Sri-Lankan font and place it in your ~/.fonts
You can find fonts for loads on languages in Google Fonts. Here's a Sri-Lankan font: https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Serif+Sinhala?query=sinha
Calling it just openSUSE, officially, would be confusing. It's fine if non tech journalists get it slightly wrong, the brand is still advertised. But in the end it doesn't matter if it's a distro, a branch or a distribution model, you need to call it something. Fedora is Fedora but they still use Workstation, Server, CoreOS, Silverblue, IoT, Rawhide, combined with other things like version number, internal names. When you just say Fedora it's usually presumed to be about Workstation. Debian has https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives
But like I said I agree that having the "brand" of the project itself (openSUSE) appearing everywhere is very important.
That sounds as though either weka is misbehaving or the baloo file indexer is having trouble. Is this weka? if so, does it create a lot of files when running?
You can take the ballistic approach and disable baloo to see if that fixes the issue by editing the file ~/.config/baloofilerc and changing the index-enabled setting to false and stopping the baloo file process. If this fixes the issue, you may want to identify the files that weka creates and blacklist them as this turns off desktop search.
Edit: a less sledgehammer approach could be to run balooctl stop
before starting weka and baloo start
when you're finished.
Download the .tar.xz and follow the install instructions

I'm not seeing a source or licence. It is a java app so if you want it for personal use then just grab the jar file.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/filebot/files/filebot/HEAD/

.
If you want to add it to oS, you'll need to find out about the source and licence - then learn how to package a jar in obs.
Yes, that works (sometimes), but it's far better to get them from the repos (which is actually what you're doing with zypper in zoom or zypper in chrome). If some things *don't* exist in the repos, you're better off getting them via flatpak (flatpak setup: https://flatpak.org/setup/openSUSE/)
Luckily these seem to be free, publicly available TrueType fonts.
You can install them yourself by simply downloading the font family from Google Fonts or the developer's DeviantArt.
Simply extract the archive, and put all the .ttf files in your custom font directory.
To install them just for yourself, put them in ~/.local/share/fonts
(~ is your home directory, you can create the folders if they don't exist) or in /usr/share/fonts/
to install them system-wide.
I really can't tell you as I use i3wm on both my machines on top of a KDE base as I very much prefer KDE tools and I need Qt anyways. And I lowkey feel like Suse partners better with KDE, but that is very much a opinion and not a fact.
Best bet is to decide yourself by watching youtube videos of like Fedora (for Gnome) and for KDE something like this, and deciding which UI you prefer.
> The installer itself starts up very slowly as well, and I don't know why.
Is this the NET installer or the DVD? That seems a bit odd.
> The default Leap and Tumbleweed ISOs should be Live images with included installers (ideally not net installers but actually pulling packages from the ISOs). Tumbleweed now has a Live image with an included installer but it is a net installer.
Agree, someone will have to work on fixing the broken installer though. For example, deciding whether it should literally copy the live system (which I believe had problems) or install packages at runtime before testing the live system, which itself has other issues.
> For example, installing Google Chrome ... is easy on Ubuntu
IIRC, on openSUSE you just download the RPM from Google's website and install it -- that should set up the Google repo for you as well. If that doesn't work any more, that should be a bug report filed with openSUSE or Google, depending on what's broken.
> Many many sites offer ubuntu debs as the only binaries for linux (for example sublime text).
Agree, unfortunately there's not a lot we can do except for packaging it ourselves (if we can) or asking upstream to provide RPM binary files.

Again, legal issues -- most distributions are in a different situation compared to distributions like openSUSE and Fedora. The Debian website has a useful article here: https://www.debian.org/reports/patent-faq

> not influenced or controlled in any way by other people, events, or things
If SUSE board members bought SUSE out of Microfocus hands just like for example Activision-Blizzard bought itself out of Vivendi, then it would be independent... but that's not the case - SUSE belongs to another company, it will be influenced and controlled by it one way or another.
It works if you install it from source, as described on anki's website (https://apps.ankiweb.net/).
... It seem others are having a problem with Anki judging from the note at the bottom of their download page > Some Linux distributions include Anki in their repositories. We've seen many users experience problems with these distributed versions, due to them being out of date or missing appropriate libraries. For this reason, the compiled package above is recommended over using the version of Anki bundled with your Linux distribution.
You can search this subreddit, for other people who had problems installing from official repo, and commentary from developers. I just tried the tarball from anki site linked above and it works.
I would love Vulkan and Mesa libs being upgraded to versions recommended by DXVK and Proton to work with amdgpu open source drivers stated here https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Requirements.
Well said!
OK, yes, as Btrfs subvolumes it might work.
Sharing an ESP partition is the right thing to do. I think sharing one BIOS_BOOT
partition on an MBR partition is probably OK.
But sharing one /boot
partition on a normal filesystem is not going to work, AFAICS.
Although kernels are usually versioned in the filename -- e.g. vmlinux-5.3.18-59.19-default.gz
-- normally the default one is always called vmlinuz
(for obscure historical reasons) on all distros.
Having 1 shared kernel but all expecting different root filesystems Will Not Work, I think, and will fail badly.
I haven't seen anyone mention Gecko Linux yet. It's Opensuse with some customization out of the box. I like it.
Yast is great, but you don't have to use it for anything. You can do anything on the console, or use Yast. It just provides a more standard interface since it's identical via GUI or console (ncurses).
I prefer that to hunting around for whatever package is being recommended for configuring a firewall or something else I don't do often.
If you're interested in linux try it, may consider Gecko Linux for out of the box codecs. The best distro is the one you like, but if you try opensuse and dislike it i'd recommend you to try Mint.
There is a spin called Gecko Linux (no relation haha) which provides several light weight live images with a particular DE. I use it with XFCE on my old computers which I really like. Plus it uses the standard repositories so you'll get all the updates as OpenSuSE puts them out. It is really trimmed down though, so you may have to install a number of normally preinstalled packages you use regularly.
I couldn't figure out how to customize XFCE, and liking one of the provided preconfigured customizations anyways I didn't put much effort into it lol. But all of the images are live images so you can just throw them on a flash drive and try each one out, then use the provided calamares installer to install it to disk.
I haven't learnt how opensuse packaging works but to get the latest, this could be case of (a) building libinput from git (I was doing this a while back on Ubuntu, when upstream had T480 touchpad improvements I was impatient for) (https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building.html)
(b) use the tumbleweed package, which I guess is pretty up to date or (c) use OpenSuse packaging to build your own updated package.
I never had problems using a new libinput.
There are plenty of programs to do that, this is the one I personally use.
Good look, Madness Bunny, and may the force be with you.
Great points, have you watched the video that I linked to and spurred this post to start with?
Also, please go to the OpenSUSE home page https://www.opensuse.org/ and scroll 2 mouse wheels. All those wonderful things you mentioned in your post, that are actually wonderful, aren't listed on the home page. YaST is.
Please make sure you have an actual soap box to stand on before you decided to get on it.
Head to the official page and download from there.
I tested right now the download on the official page: it works.
If you're on chrome/chromium right click and choose "save as" and if it is the case, accept a non secure download - check afterwards the hashes to be sure you download a legit iso.
I like it but one of OpenSUSE's selling points for me is that it's probably one of the best(if not the best) KDE distro's. While I do feel like GNOME and other DEs deserve attention, I believe that KDE is what OpenSUSE is known for and is also one of the great things that sets it apart from other distros.
IMO you guys should offer KDE as the default instead. My idea is that on https://www.opensuse.org/en/, there's a download link for OpenSUSE's latest stable desktop release DVD image, a download link to KDE live CD and a link to a page the way you described it under a 'more options' option.
I use OpenSuse (Leap & Tumbleweed), Ubuntu and Manjaro. I have often broken each of them. I just find that Ubuntu is best if you're not in interested in tinkering all the time. The package Manager is possibly better in OpenSuse if you like adding new repositories, but Ubuntu seems just the most stable for the inexperienced. https://kubuntu.org/ for the KDE version.
From the Debian manual:
> When a "testing" release becomes `frozen', "unstable" tends to partially freeze as well. This is because developers are reluctant to upload radically new software to unstable, in case the frozen software in testing needs minor updates and to fix release critical bugs which keep testing from becoming "stable".
I use mplayer, http://www.mplayerhq.hu somehow thats one thing that I install always on my system since I use linux.
I use the package from packman: http://packman.links2linux.org/package/mplayer
Its not the most "modern" linux software, but it works and also has a nice command line interface.
Hi,

I hope this already helped. If not: can you specify what functionality you are searching for?

If you search for 'sip_api_can_convert_to_type' - you'll find it's almost universally accepted as a python-qt error. The question is; how to cure it? The most common answer is to reinstall QT and you're done.
Check you have the deps listed here. Generally on oS if it says pyXYZ, then it's python-XYZ you need to search for. http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/getting-opensesame/running-from-source/
You could also try running it from the source as it's only a python script.
You are connecting to an old server, or using and old key created with a now insecure method.
https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.2 In short
It is now possible[1] to perform chosen-prefix attacks against the SHA-1 hash algorithm for less than USD$50K. For this reason, we will be disabling the "ssh-rsa" public key signature algorithm that depends on SHA-1 by default in a near-future release.
And so they suggest to start using either elliptic curve or simply SHA2
Sounds good. There is much to this whole thing that it'll balloon into a /r/homelab situation, which is why I was recommending easier solutions like FreeNAS or UnRAID. Eventually, you are gonna go the VM route. VMs add a bunch of neat features that beat bare metal; personally, I run Proxmox, but industry-wise, people use VMWare, however Proxmox has some amazing storage options that VMWare lacks, like ZFS.
A few steps down...some things to think about.
* Domains and Dynamic DNS and such (I recommend PFSense to make this easier, Dynamic DNS services).
* Depending on your local internet connection, you might encounter bandwidth caps. Hope you are luck to have 'unlimited' bandwidth.
Sorry this isn't more detailed, but it was just some bigger things to think about as you get further down the line that answer...how can I make this easier for my users. /r/homelab /r/HomeNetworking /r/proxmox and more can steer you right.
That's what I see except for some changes for AMD and TW.
Compare your config against my blank one.
$cat ~/.config/zoomus.conf [General] bForceMaximizeWM=false blockUntrustedSSLCert=false captureHDCamera=true conf.webserver=https://zoom.us deviceID= embeddedBrowserForGoogleLogin=false enable.host.auto.grab=true enableAlphaBuffer=true enableLog=true enableMiniWindow=true fake.version= flashChatTime=0 forceEnableTrayIcon=true host.auto.grab.interval=10 isTransCoding=false logLevel=info system.audio.type=default useSystemTheme=false
If it's the same then try changing the last line useSystemTheme=true
to see if it makes a difference.
Sounds like it messes with the image so no wonder it's DOA. We've seen the a few times lately, whereby the compress ramdisk is changed during writing.
Rufus usually works at Gabriel linked or imageusb is recommend on the wiki.
I do it the old way - dated bz tar to a backup area and then (offsite NAS) rsync the directory daily, clearing out old ones as I go. I'm not running big DB clusters or anything so I can keep it simple. If I'm running game servers then I might do their map saves weekly instead as some of them get rather large.
If I had big data then I'd maybe use bacula or daily diff/weekly full tgz and rsync to cut back on bandwidth usage.
If I was doing enterprise class backups (1TB+ or high ops DBs) then I'd use something different entirely, whatever is best for the job which is why Linux is great... so many ways to get to the end result you want.
Great job and thanks for writing this up for the plasma desktop. Please think about adding a readme and if you do also think about adding screenshots of your tool, since most people want to see what the gui looks like.
You should package this up into a binary, you could use PyInstaller(which works great for QT apps too) for that to create a single file binary, or consider writing an install script.

There is no "openSUSE Team" besides volunteers

I have no problem with suggestions regarding using new tools or processes, but the question ultimately leads to the same place - Who is going to do it?
I won't, I have enough on my plate. If you want to set that up, encourage the whole community to start using it, and establish it as the defacto perfect documentation solution, please go ahead
Why don't you install the rpm? You definitely won't have any font problems, provided it works.Download RPM and open it with Yast-software, a message will come out saying that the package may be corrupt (this is because it is not a specific rpm for openSUSE but it should work) click on ignore.

Because I like beautiful themes, I like to use Music Player - Mp3 Player Eco Mobile VN. The best and most convenient music player app that I use.
>I have my firewall configured to allow KDE Connect but I get regular issues with it. Namely I have to restart the firewall each fucking time I boot up my PC because the KDE Connect's connection gets blocked otherwise.
Hmm, I'm having a similar issue with Private Internet Access. PIA starts on boot and I have to restart the firewall before I can have internet access.
If I check the log shortly after booting with
sudo journalctl -u mullvad-daemon.service
I get the following:
-- Logs begin at Sun 2019-04-07 17:30:32 CEST, end at Sun 2019-04-07 17:31:04 CEST. -- -- No entries --
Obviously, because it hasn't started.
After starting the service manually, I get a normal log without any error messages. Simply some messages about what it has done. Everything looks ok. I can see the deamon log history (from previous sessions) in . There are no errors anywhere. There are only logs from succesful sessions, but these sessions have only begun after I started the service manually.
​
The service file looks like this:
# Systemd service unit file for the Mullvad VPN daemon
[Unit] Description=Mullvad VPN daemon Wants=network.target After=network-online.target After=NetworkManager.service After=systemd-resolved.service StartLimitBurst=5 StartLimitIntervalSec=20
[Service] Restart=always RestartSec=1 ExecStart=/opt/Mullvad\x20VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps
[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
I have tried to increase StartLimitBurst to 10, and RestartSec to 2, so that it tries to start every two seconds for ten times, but still no luck. This should have solved the issue if it timed out too quickly when there was no network connection yet.
Could it be that there it is waiting for something listed after Wants or After which never happens? I don't know what those things do. Perhaps these are Fedora terms which are named differently on OpenSUSE? I installed this package by downloading the Fedora .rpm. It was either that or getting the Debian .deb and converting it with alien. I can still try the latter if I don't find a solution.
Great news! There's information about the extension pack here https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2020-08/msg00339.html You can download the compatible version here https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.97-140056.vbox-extpack
As a last resort, Mullvad also provides the raw configuration files, that you can use with wireguard itself (wg-quick
). It might require a bit of fiddling in getting the config files to be actually usable but if you don't manage to install the provided rpm, that should always work.
I know this is a super old thread, but this is still an issue for me and the main reason I haven't made the "leap" to Tumbleweed. Changing the setting in Network Manager for "Make available to other users" does not help. Tumbleweed asks for a password every time I want to connect AND disconnect from ProtonVPN. I've seen many complaints about this around the web, but haven't found a working solution so far. Any ideas?
It's pretty much the only distro I even care about.
It just suffers from low popularity and some strange stigmatization. For example, ProtonVPN officially supports every major distro except for openSUSE. And IIRC they are a European-based service... yet they leave out SUSE, which is incomprehensible.
I followed this and it worked with ProtonVPN:
nmcli connection import type wireguard file ****.conf
After importing, it appeared on Network Manager and I was able to connect to the VPN
The wiki sucks. Arch became popular because people were able to find the information they needed quickly and easily because of the wiki. openSUSE's wiki needs an overhaul and to be updated and clear similar or the same as the Arch wiki.
Reach out to software distributors to encourage them to release .rpm packages for openSUSE also and not only just Fedora. Examples: ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, and many others.
Have you tried opi mupdf? (Sorry, I'm on a Fedora box myself at the moment so I can't test it myself). Maybe a good soul was able to build it already.
Otherwise, I would look for an AppImage or Flatpak. If you can't find either then there's always compiling from source: https://mupdf.com/docs/building.html (and if you do compile from source and it's nontrivial to do it, please do upload a package to OBS) :).
Mullvad has a RPM for the app, but they don't support Opensuse.. It will work the first time you connect, but after that it won't connect. There are a lot of posts about it and everyone just ends up using the CLI version with wireguard/openvpn. I use CLI for my TW laptop on Gnome and there is an extension for a Mullvad indicator so I can still see if its connected and what not...
"Startup on boot doesn't work and requires manual fixing. One needs to edit mullvad-daemon.service with this command input: sudo nano /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon.service, then change Wants=network.target to Wants=network-online.target."
You can sometimes get it to work by doing that, but I haven't been able to get Mullvad app to consistently work correctly.
I sometimes have an issue with updates hanging on TW also.. I will have to ctrl-c and retry, doesn't always happen but it is somewhat frequent. I have had that issue on multiple systems too...
Meant Mullvad*, but it is a somewhat popular vpn, it is also what Firefox uses for their vpn. I don't really mind using Mullvad in the terminal, but without the app I have issues connecting to local shares/VNC.
For an office suite, Calligra is a nice additional one to have alongside LibreOffice. Cons: Probably a smaller feature set compared to LibreOffice, and I'm not sure about compatibility with MS Office. Pros: is faster, more reliable, and IMO looks better than LibreOffice too.
Btw, regarding Flatpak, I've had multiple issues related to mouse cursor, fonts, and local folder access - all related to the sandboxing of apps, all resolvable, but potentially a problem for a non-technical user. I've had much better experiences with AppImages, but I don't know if they have a graphical app store like interface; even the AppImageUpdate idea is still catching on.
If you ever get your hands on https://amzn.com/dp/0130224189 (and if you care about programming, it is extremely interesting book), then there is a large part of it analysing various memory-oriented and file-oriented sorting algorithms.
I thing this will help you:
I don't see any openSUSE's specific dependencies.
I use CoreCtrl which is the closest thing to Radeon control panel in Linux and quite a bit more more than just a monitoring software: advanced voltage, fan and clocking controls plus performance governor manegement for Intel cpus...
​
radeontop is a terminal based monitoring tool, but a bit underwhelming imo.
​
Neither have fps reporting.
Which one did you prefer within Mint and Manjaro?
It Mint then Leap, if Manjaro then Tumbleweed.
There's also GeckoLinux, which offers both Leap based and Tumbleweed based derivatives. It smooths a few rough at th cost of taking a number of decisions on behalf of its users.
You're right. easyrpm fetches the latest spotify snap, converts it to rpm, and installs the rpm. It's from the packman repo, and safe to use. :)
On my Intel i9-11900 there are only two possible cpufreq governor choices: performance
and powersave
. The latter is tunable via the "Energy Performance Preference" bias knob that I mentioned earlier, but this is kind of obscure/poorly documented (or at least, I've never seen it discussed around; I just found out about it yesterday).
user@localhost:~> sudo cpupower frequency-info analyzing CPU 0: driver: intel_pstate CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0 maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported. hardware limits: 800 MHz - 5.00 GHz available cpufreq governors: performance powersave current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 5.00 GHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware current CPU frequency: 4.93 GHz (asserted by call to kernel) boost state support: Supported: yes Active: yes
If I try using schedutil
I get an error:
user@localhost:~> sudo cpupower frequency-set -g schedutil Setting cpu: 0 Error setting new values. Common errors: - Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?) - Is the governor you requested available and modprobed? - Trying to set an invalid policy? - Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available, for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
There's also another way on Intel processors. One could set the Energy Performance Preference bias for all cores via sysfs. The default value is 128; lower values tend to use higher frequencies. 0 acts similarly to the performance
CPU governor as far as I could see.

With OpenSuSE? Not really.
Lazy I know, but I hardly need to do make Windows USBs anymore, and I managed to get what I wanted to be done over and done with using Ventoy.
I suggest you give it a try as well. As good as WoeUSB was at making Windows USBs, this is just better.
> is the debian packaging system any worse or just 2 ways to schieve the same thing?
I can't comment much on it, but I found the <code>control</code> files to be very confusing and marginally unreadable.
Basically it's another way to achieve the same goal of distributing software. Benefits vary depending on the package manager. For openSUSE, it's arguably the sat solver combined with all the existing utilities from the RPM world.
You can install Zoom by entering the following code into a terminal (opened by hitting the Windows key and typing Konsole), hitting Enter and entering the root password (followed by Enter):
curl -sSfL https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm -o /tmp/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm &&
sudo zypper --non-interactive --ignore-unknown --no-gpg-checks install --no-confirm /tmp/zoom_openSUSE_x86_64.rpm
