Sorry for the duplicated video. But I forgot to mention how to fix auto updating on MicroOS Desktop after you installed the proprietary nvidia driver. 😅

[@ShaneJoseph131083]

Love the video, please keep up the MicroOS content.

[@Banilla468]

Thank you for this!
I recently started using Tumbleweed and I absolutely love it.
My partner is not a computer nerd, but is not a big fan of windows or mac. They really like the GNOME DE and want me to install openSUSE on their new laptop (they actually approached me with this, not the other way around).
I really think Immutable distros + flatpack is the best next step in making linux accessible to non-nerds, and will absolutely be coming back to this video when I set them up with OpenSUSE aeon

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

Thank you for these kind words :)

[@prestigefleet]

By far the best openSUSE MicroOS video on TH-cam! Definitely would love to see how to do Docker Installs as well as SAMBA/NFS Server Tutorials. Just a suggestion 😎 Already Subscribed and Liked

[@kici5777]

Very interesting thanks! 👍

[@slowjocrow6451]

Great video thanks. Any tips for getting Baldur’s Gate 3 running through Steam ? I set version to Proton Experimental . When I try run the game it says I need to install .NET 6

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

Did you modifiy the SELinux booleans? Some of them, if not changed, prevent Proton and Wine to do their thing.

[@slowjocrow6451]

@@RoboNTuxGuides is it safe to do? They look like important security setting

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

@@slowjocrow6451 There was a proposal to change them over on openSUSEs mailing list because they both get in the way of users quite often.
The answer was no but mainly because openSUSE shares the same SELinux rules across all it's offerings, including their server focused products.
While they are a good thing on servers where a lot of forging system interact with. They are not much of a concern on Desktops where only a very limited amount of people have access too.
You can however turn them on/off temporarily by leaving out the -P parameter. So the next time your start your system they are back on their default.
This way you can test which one is responsible for the failed installation of .Net inside your Proton Prefix.

Found the discussion. It was even me who started it :D

Hello, thank you for the Video!
When I try to install the nvidia drivers on my laptop it doesn't work.
I install the Nvidia Repo, I install the Nvidia drivers and all without Issue, as shown in the Video. But when in restart my system it is as if i didnt install any drivers. When I do a "zypper se "G06"" it shows the drivers being installed, and i can also open the nvidia driver utility software, but when i use "prime-select nvidia" to switsch to my nvidia card and log out, i just get the terminal log-in screen. Also in the nvidia driver utility software and in the settings i don't see my nvidia card being recognized. when i do a "lsmod | grep nvidia" it turns up nothing. Before trying to install Kalpa I used Tumbleweed with no Issues.
I'd be very grateful if someone of you could help me, because in theroy Kalpa sounds like the perfect dystro to me.

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

If you are on Kalpa: You may try to re-generate the initramfs using: sudo transactional-update -c initrd
After you installed the drivers.
If you are on openSUSE Aeon RC2 you might face the following issue: th-cam.com/video/4VxB8K0pfXo/w-d-xo.html

[@aceofspades174]

@@RoboNTuxGuides First of all thank you very much for replying so quickly!
Sadly "sudo transactional-update -c initrd" doesn't fix it, and i am using Kalpa wich for as far as i know still uses Grub 2, so the fix shown in your video doesn't work either.

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

@@aceofspades174 That's correct the fix in the video is for Aeon RC2 only.
May I ask which GPU you have in your system?

[@aceofspades174]

@@RoboNTuxGuides I have a Nvidia Quadro M2200m. It uses the G06 Drivers

[@RoboNTuxGuides]

@@aceofspades174 Alright, yes G06 seems to be the correct driver package for that GPU.
Just to reiterate:
sudo transactional-update -c pkg install openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA
sudo transactional-update -c pkg install nvidia-drivers-G06
sudo transactional-update -c initrd
sudo reboot
Make sure you did not missed the -c part as this is important.
Is this is what you did? If so it is strange it does not work :/
Where there any errors during the installation. Something like "snapshot xyz aborted"?
