Linux Setup Notes: Opensuse Tumbleweed

zram vs suspend to disk?

Optimize mirrors:

zypper in mirrorsorcerer

sudo mirrorsorcerer -x
systemctl enable --now mirrorsorcerer

reboot

Edit zypp.conf:

sudo micro /etc/zypp/zypp.conf

parallel downloads=5

download.min_download_speed = 20000

Install opi:

sudo zypper install opi

sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis

Install Pycharm:

sudo zypper in libgthread-2_0-0 gcc-fortran gnome-disk-utility texlive

sudo opi pycharm

sudo zypper in python3-pandas python3-suds python3-colorama python3-reportlab python3-svglib

sudo pip3 install chess --break-system-packages

sudo opi micro

Rstudio-desktop:

sudo zypper in R-base-devel

sudo opi rstudio-desktop

opi version is outdated, so can also download Opensuse rpm from: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/

then: sudo zypper in [downloaded rpm file]

You also need to: sudo zypper in openssl-1_1

If you manually install rstudio, zypper will want to downgrade....so run sudo zypper al rstudio.....which locks the package (sudo zypper removelock rstudio to remove lock)

sudo opi rjava (after installing java-21-openjdk-devel pcre2-devel lzma-sdk-devel libbz2-devel)

Install Insync:

sudo rpm --import https://d2t3ff60b2tol4.cloudfront.net/repomd.xml.key

sudo zypper ar -f http://yum.insync.io/opensuse-tumbleweed/rolling/ Insync

sudo zypper refresh

sudo zypper in insync

Enable dnf:

sudo zypper in dnf rpm-repos-openSUSE-Tumbleweed

add to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:

fastestmirror=True
max_parallel_downloads=10
defaultyes=True

Install Flatpak:

sudo dnf in fastfetch eza dropbox flatpak fish

sudo opi fisher
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

flatpak install sqlitebrowser

Install Codecs:

opi codecs

Right way to update:

sudo zypper refresh

sudo zypper dup --allow-vendor-change

Nvidia:

inxi -G to see what driver is loaded

https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/tumbleweed NVIDIA

sudo zypper install-new-recommends --repo NVIDIA or....

sudo zypper in nvidia-video-G06

Security Audit System:

sudo dnf in lynis && sudo lynis audit system

Virt Manager:

https://samanpavel.medium.com/kvm-vms-with-virt-manager-on-opensuse-f4370165c03d

sudo usermod -aG libvirt hugh

sudo dnf in libvirt

sudo systemctl start libvirtd.service

NO NEED TO CHOOSE SECURE BOOT....just use default UEFI

OpenRGB:

To install OpenRGB with hardware access on openSUSE Tumbleweed, follow these steps:

1. Install OpenRGB from the official repositories:

```bash
sudo zypper install OpenRGB
```

2. Install the i2c-tools package, which is needed for accessing certain RGB devices:

```bash
sudo zypper install i2c-tools
```

3. Load the necessary kernel modules:

```bash
sudo modprobe i2c-dev
sudo modprobe i2c-piix4 # For AMD systems
# OR
sudo modprobe i2c-i801 # For Intel systems
```

4. To make these modules load automatically on boot, create a new file:

```bash
sudo nano /etc/modules-load.d/openrgb.conf
```

Add the following lines to the file:

```
i2c-dev
i2c-piix4 # For AMD systems
# OR
i2c-i801 # For Intel systems
```

5. Install the OpenRGB kernel patches:

```bash
sudo zypper install i2c-openrgb-kmp-default
```

6. Reboot your system to apply the changes.

7. Run OpenRGB with sudo privileges:

```bash
sudo openrgb
```

If you want to run OpenRGB without sudo, you can add your user to the i2c group:

```bash
sudo usermod -aG i2c $USER
```

Then log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.

sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper install OpenRGB
sudo zypper in i2c-tools
sudo usermod -aG i2c hugh
sudo modprobe i2c-dev
sudo modprobe i2c-piix4
cd /etc/modules-load.d/
sudo touch /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf
sudo sh -c 'echo "i2c-dev" >> /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf'
sudo sh -c 'echo "i2c-piix4" >> /etc/modules-load.d/i2c.conf'
