This is really helpful mate! I'm currently installing OpenSUSE on a VM in fedora just to try it out and came across your videos. Very informative. Thanks!

So I've installed Tumbleweed and adjusted it step by step following your video. Very useful and now I feel much better in openSuse OS. Thank you very much!!!

this is perfect, trying out OpenSUSE for the first time right now, thanks!

[@ozgurkatrc9730]

Thank you very much, I have been using KDE neon for a long time. But it's time for a change, now I can try OpenSuse.

[@AverageLinuxUser]

I would stay on KDE neon. OpenSUSE is nice if you need/like Yast and rpm, otherwise neon is better in my opinion.

[@johannesniedermayr]

Please do not recommend to disable the GRUB menu. I personally had a problem about a year ago (it was a different distro - elementary OS), where there had been an incompatibility on my system between the Nvidia drivers and the kernel after an update, and the system could not start the graphical desktop anymore. Back then, the GRUB menu on my system had been disabled; the problem would have been much easier to work around if the menu had been there, because booting from the old kernel or using recovery mode (both available via Advanced Options in the GRUB menu) would have booted the system again. When that happened, it took the elementary/Ubuntu base about two or three weeks, until another update fixed the problem. So - better shorten the timeout to 2 or 3 seconds if you want, but don't disable it completely. That would be my personal advice. Otherwise - great content. Thanks for posting :)

[@massalitin]

I left it for my OpenSUSE too but 1 sec is enough to react (I was using this perfect RPM distro for 8 years)

[@AverageLinuxUser]

If you press and hold Shift during loading Grub, you will get the Grub menu. If you boot using BIOS, press Esc.

[@Zwygi49]

OpenSuse is just at 65% of the installation process on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th Gen., so I'm sure Your video will be very useful to me as I never used OpenSuse. Thanks in advance for your great tutorial. I will work me trough when the Installation is done. Best regards from Switzerland

[@joejohnston3]

Such a wonderful video and I am loving OpenSUSE!

[@prianthefist]

I found this video very late in comparison to the installation of Leap 15.3 on my pc, but it's very useful, thx for the tips.

[@elderberry-hamster]

Great tips and tricks video as usual ALU. To play videos, I always install MPV player which, once the keyboard shortcuts are learned, it is an amazing program and way more feature rich and customizable compared to VLC. Regards.

[@guilherme5094]

It was just what I needed, thank you very much.

[@AverageLinuxUser]

You're welcome!

[@czerwonysledz]

Thank you for the video, load of handy information. I moved to OpenSUSE after a few years of using Mint, and after a few months of Manjaro (that disappointed me with its instability). So far, I've been enjoying OpenSUSE for its solidity and customizability. It helps me to go deeper into Linux OS, that was my intention. YAST is a decent tool, that helps to keep everything in control. Best regards! P.S. My favourite audio player that I recommend to everybody is Audacious.

[@xylogram4168]

How easy is OpenSUSE to use for a Linux newbie like me? I had used MX Linux before (xfce and kde, the latter being my favorite, although both were running on a bootable USB) and it was really easy to use. Also, is it good for gaming (have on mind that I don't have a gaming PC) and audio editing?

[@czerwonysledz]

@@xylogram4168 I think it's quite easy still. It's good for gaming - Steam and Wine are working well (currently I'm playing Witcher 3 for example, GOG version, no issues at all). As for audio editing - I can't say, I'm not dealing with this.

[@marcmulzer]

Great guide. thanks for sharing! I followed this and got a great system running. Later, I broke my system when in SuSE Software application, it showed 3 updates. When I clicked update, it applied all the updates and after reboot, I had no more sound. I was able to roll back from a snapshot, but i was not able to get the updates installed without breaking the system. When including the community repository and installing the codecs, what is the proper way to update/upgrade the system? Should I not use the Software application? Instead perhaps should I only use Zypper? do I need the "allow vendor change" option for all future upgrades?

[@CausticAscarite]

4-5 years on opensuse. no regrets

[@V1kt0rS0]

I used to be a big fan of OpenSuse six years ago. Still there's not that many packages available comparing to Ubuntu.

[@thecloudrazor]

@@V1kt0rS0 there's more community repositories than ever, and Open Build Service. If you still can't find a package in these; you can download its RPM file or DEB file and convert it to RPM. openSUSE forever!

Great video, thanks :) I was trying Leap 15.3 beta last few days, guess I'll try Tumbleweed next.

[@opheliumzone4671]

Thank you so much! Only one issue I had - when I logged out/restarted the readout for the swap was still 60 not 10. When I tried to save the file using ctrl+o and close by ctrl+x nothing happened, maybe that's why....not sure as I'm completely new to this.

1. if u hv installed an empty system, there is no need 2 make a snapshot; u will need to install a whole new system in order to restore the snapshot anyway. Create a snapshot only if u hv something 2 backup 2. lots of ppl show us how to backup a system. i have not, however, seen a single video on how 1 would restore a system. u think u could create something like this?

[@ayushyadav5164]

Hey I am on Arch. I am thinking to get a point release distribution. How's SUSE? What would you recommend, SUSE or Fedora?

[@dorukhan8707]

SUSE

[@RitzyBusiness]

I would look at Debian or its derivatives for point release. But between Fedora and Suse, I feel that yast is worth it, also more out of box desktop options. Unless you really love gnome, like love.

[@LuisDiaz-qg3eg]

What about Strawberry music player? It's a fork of Clementine. Clementine is getting a new release, but there is a lot more work it seems in Strawberry repo

[@AverageLinuxUser]

It is a good alternative too. Thanks

[@arianitonline8748]

in swappiness, what does the number 60 or 10 represent?

[@matthiasbendewald1803]

It is a value that the kernel uses to decide when to use swap to increase the RAM cache usage. It is all about performance. 60 is the default everywhere because in normal circumstances it's just a very good compromise. Leave it as it is unless you know better.

[@notpublic7149]

Haven't tried this distro since 2005. Did it change at all? Lol

[@michaelmcdonald3275]

Probably one of the very best for stability and enterprise integration.

[@cosmicvoid2207]

That was a good guide. I love openSUSE but in my opinion it can get much better if they fixed some quirks here and there. For instance, why isn't the Nvidia driver getting updated when Tumbleweed gets a new kernel which causes a black screen? Other distros do it easily. DKMS packages for Nvidia are not always up to date and you have to get them from community repos to recompile locally. Some gaming packages are not found in the repos and have to be compiled from source.

[@AverageLinuxUser]

These are rather maintenance then things to do after installing.

[@xylogram4168]

How common are these black screen issues? Is openSUSE a good distro for light gaming on a 2018 laptop?

[@cosmicvoid2207]

@@xylogram4168For Tumbleweed, If you have Nvidia and use NV proprietary driver (not nouveau driver) then the kernel you choose at boot has to match the driver if not you get a black screen. With any other GPU you'll be fine. Another way for this problem is to install the community (unofficial) DKMS packages. I prefer Leap as it does not have any of these issues since the kernel is not changed for the entire life cycle (only updated). I play heavy games like Tomb Raider on it and it's awesome.

Log or make an account in firefox browser to keep all the plug ins and bookmarks with you even for example you change os or install developer edition so when you log in you'll restore all the bookmarks and the history! too is useful to synchronize them with the firefox in the mobile install alien to convert packages to rpm format for example from deb to rpm i think this is good when someone want to have a package but find it in deb format

Your title of this video is wrong. "20 Things To Do After Installing OpenSUSE" should be: The 20 things I do after installing Opensuse". They will be different for everyone, so making a video like this one is useless. I, for example, just start working with it and step by step I notice what is missing or what should be different. I install the extra's and change what I want to change and keep working with it. OpenSuse is a fantastic distro, it is rock stable and is a pleasure to work with.
