openSUSE Tumbleweed - Cheat Sheet

These are the steps I take to setup OpenSUSE on a new machine. Please research each command if you don't understand what it's doing.

Enable Community Repository

[Open] Yast > Software Repositories > Add > Community

Install Software

This is the list of software I like to install with a fresh install. Remove any you don't want.

sudo zypper install -y libyubikey-tools yubikey-manager chromium yubikey-personalization-gui telegram-desktop fish steam kdenlive obs-studio inkscape tilix calibre krita flameshot guvcview darktable shotwell remmina thunderbird deja-dup vim nano mumble git x264 smplayer

Install Snaps

Snap Instruction For openSUSE Website

Pay attention to the differences between Leap and Tumbleweed during install. For Tumbleweed use:

Do not paste this command without reading the instructions on webpage [Example] sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy

Not the instructions which have Tumbleweed users run enable and start for the systemctl process of snapd two different ways for AppArmor

Install Codecs

zypper install libdvdcss2 ffmpeg lame gstreamer-plugins-libav gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-orig-addon vlc vlc-codecs flash-player flash-player-ppapi libxine2 libxine2-codecs 






    Install Flatpak

    Flatpak is available in the default repositories of all currently maintained openSUSE Leap and openSUSE Tumbleweed versions.

    If you prefer a graphical installation, you can install Flatpak using a "1-click installer" from software.opensuse.org. If your distribution version is not shown by default, click Show flatpak for other distributions first and then select from the list.

    Alternatively, install Flatpak from the command line using Zypper:

    
      
  1.  sudo zypper install flatpak

  2. Add the Flathub repository

    Flathub is the best place to get Flatpak apps. To enable it, run:

    
      
  3.  flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

  4. Restart

    To complete setup, restart your system. Now all you have to do is install some apps!

Adjust Color Temperature of Your Screen Using Terminal

There is a utility called “ xsct ” or screen color temperature for Debian-based systems which is super lightweight to install and very easy to use. Open up a terminal and install it using below. sudo apt install sct Once installed, you can start using it anytime with just a command. Even you can use it for your shell script as well. Syntax sct [temperature]   What is Color Temperature As per Wikipedia – “ Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing, manufacturing, astrophysics, horticulture, and other fields” . It has a value range from 1000k to 10000k (k = unit in Kelvin) which controls the display brightness. In layman’s term, the default color temperature value of your monitor is 6500k. So, anything upwards e.g. 7000k, etc are “blue-ish” or “cooler” and downwards are “warmer” or “yellow-ish”. Take a look at this chart (credit: Wikipedia).

  AirDrop & why it would be amazing for cross-platform Apple’s AirDrop is known to be one of the best data transfer services. It allows its users to quickly transfer files between devices while also providing a high level of security. However, it’s not available on any other platform, except for iOS and macOS. This means that if you want to transfer files and use AirDrop on Windows, you need to use SnapDrop. SnapDrop is a super-easy way to send files or data between your devices, and it works with anything, from PDF files to photos and videos. All you need to do is open it in your browser and then look for a device to exchange files with. It’s a great app, developed using some of the best security protocols. On top of that, it’s open-source, so developers are continuously improving it. If you want to transfer files between your devices successfully, you need them both connected to the same local network – for your safety, only use secure and password-protected Wi-Fi.
