OpenSuse is the best distro out there in my opinon. Now I have all desktops with Thumbleweed and 90% of servers on Bare Metal/VMs on Leap. Thank you OpenSuse Team!

Thanks for kicking the tires on this! Looking forward to trying this on future openSuse installa

Gorgeous and well-thought-out. The only thing I do not like is, that you are not (optionally) accompanied through all the options chronologically. You have to go through them all by yourself and come back to the overview-dialog. Although the overview-dialog looks very cleaned-up.

I can't say that I love that installer. After selecting Slowroll, it asks to set the root password then quickly switches to the "Configuring the product" screen where it looks like it's already installing. But it's actually just updating repos and then goes back to root password. After choosing the country, it's not smart enough (the normal installer isn't either) to auto select the keyboard. The partitioning isn't as smart as the guided one in the normal installer. If I have a 100 GB space without partition, a swap partition and a boot partition, it can't guess that it should use the swap and boot partitions. The guided partitioning one in the normal installer does.

You should explain that this is intended for VM environments. It is not intended to be installed on "bare metal" yet. Play with it in a VM - all you like. I have always liked / loved OPEN SUSE. but it is also the Linux - distro that I have managed to "break" most often.

It's not said anywhere that I've found and the Slowroll wiki suggests using it.

Nice intro. I'd like to see a demo of remote and automated installation options. For instance - feeding a config file to a virtual proxmox/virtual install. Also a remote install where it calls home for remote install. What do you think?

[@LowTechLinux]

Good idea, 👍 I'll have a look at doing that
