How to configure it?
Linux friend, after installing OpenSUSE I recommend you:
Activate SUDO
Many tutorials on the internet show commands that require sudo to be enabled. To activate it they must write in the console:
su
Put the root password
And then write
echo ‘user ALL=(ALL) ALL’ >> /etc/sudoers
Where it says user (highlighted), put your username. Be very careful with the quotation marks, delete them and write them yourself, because if it does not work.
Add Extra Repositories:
For this we open YaST in our applications menu and we go to Software> Software Repositories and there we select «Add», in the window that appears next we choose «Community Repositories»
The wifi does not recognize you, what to do ?:
OpenSUSE doesn't usually have problems with Wi-Fi. But if you do , the solution is very easy. Open the console and log in as root like this:
su (hit enter)
write your password (hit enter)
sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware (hit enter and follow the instructions)
We update the system and install the essentials such as flash, java etc and add the best of the repositories in Opensuse Pacman with:
sudo zypper update
sudo zypper install-new-recommends
sudo zypper update
