A basic step by step on setting up OST. steps including firewall settings for home printers and kdeconnect. Install opi for easy installation of codecs and google-chrome and more.

You've done a good job with post install demonstration. Two other fellows have previously shown post configs but they were lackings few important things such as changing firewall zone for network printers, zypper installing recommended packages esp intel-ucodes drivers.
PS add microsoft font and dlevel packages to your list

Good suggestion. Thank you.

Working normally and kids breaking everything in the background. I can relate, it is the same here! Cheers and great tips!

[@LowTechLinux]

Yep. Lol
Thank you 😊

Excellent wrap up! Opi is nifty indeed. Interesting to hear about the CDN's; will revisit the Gecko again (in Vietnam, so availability over here is okay, but could be better). Thanks.

[@ukdave57]

Thanks for the useful tips. I now have opi set up.

[@louchitchat]

thank you for sharing these tips

[@sebastianknapek1467]

thanks. i did not know about opi, although zypper for me runs fast. i also decrease swapinness as having 64gb ram should Suse use Ram firstly. i got some issues with codes and reinstalled without packman repository. so far it works well.

good video

[@Jacek..]

Open suse tumbleweed has a serious flaw. It does not run sound properly on VMWare. When I play video whether on browsers or local files, the sound stutters badly, appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears or disappears completely. When I do tests in the audio options sometimes there is no sound or it is intermittent. I've installed this distribution twice now and it's the same thing. Right after installation there is this problem. After installing codecs systuation looks the same. On live hardware I haven't tried but it will probably be the same. No other distribution has such problems (same VM settings)

[@LowTechLinux]

I installed leap in virtmam and there wasn't any audio devices found, same virtmam settings I do for everything.
However, I will say I have Tumbleweed on 8 different devices (real hardware) and have had no sound issues with any of them

[@Jacek..]

@@LowTechLinux Is Open suse tumbleweed such a special system that is not suitable for virtualization? Different systems, distributions I opened on VMware but I had no such problems.

[@LowTechLinux]

I do think Opensuse is a bit more finicky on what it works on honestly. As for VMware I don't use it so I can't give any info on it. I use virtmamager mostly and virtualbox as a backup when something doesn't work in virtman

[@Jacek..]

@@LowTechLinux In any case, there is also a problem with audio on virtmamager from what you write. So I need to install on real hardware and test there

[@Johan87577]

I would recommend using virtmanager and qemu instead.
