One more way to customize opensuse.
After installation, you should open YaST and configure the software repositories.
- Make sure the local repository of the installation stick is turned off.
- Add the Nvidia and Pacman community repositories.
zypper ref- refreshing a repository means downloading metadata of packages from the medium (if needed).
zypper dup- perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in repositories, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem for the upgrade, handles package splits and renames, etc.
zypper ve- check whether dependencies of installed packages are satisfied. + In case that any dependency problems are found, zypper suggests packages to install or remove to fix them.
sudo zypper ref && sudo zypper dup && sudo zypper veBy default, after installing the system, the workstation is overloaded with unnecessary programs. It is advisable to uninstall them so that they do not interfere with the use of the system.

Starting the DKMS daemon. It is obligatory to reboot!
sudo zypper in dkms && sudo systemctl enable dkms.serviceAfter installation, make sure the system is not under load. Run plasma-systemmonitor, gnome-system-monitor, htop or btop.

inxi -GYou need to play online or offline multimedia content but the content does not want to play or shows errors. Usually this is a sign of missing codecs: install these packages from Packman to play most music and video:
- ffmpeg
- gstreamer-plugins-good
- gstreamer-plugins-bad
- gstreamer-plugins-ugly
- gstreamer-plugins-libav
- libavcodec
- vlc-codecs
Opi (Open Build Service Package Installer) works on both Leap and Tumbleweed, and is the easiest way to install community packages and the codecs:
sudo zypper in opi && opi codecsOr if you want to install the codec packages without
vlc-codecs(if you don't plan on using the VideoLAN Client):
