OpenSUSE

A good security/usability/privacy/freedom compromise operating system that should fit most people's needs.

OpenSUSE comes in 4 different versions. In this guide, we will talk about how to choose the right one, the advantages and disadvantages of each version and how to set them up.

Requirements

- 2 Ghz dual core processor or better - 2GB physical RAM + additional memory for your workload - Over 40GB of free hard drive space - Either a DVD drive or USB port for the installation media - Internet access is helpful, and required for the Network Installer - Having UEFI and Secure Boot will improve security, but it's not required.

Download OpenSUSE

For OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, you should download it here: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/

For OpenSUSE Leap, you should download it here: https://get.opensuse.org/leap/

You should do the “Verify your download” step that is also on the download page to make sure your OpenSUSE iso image is safe and sound.

Installation

OpenSUSE's installer is slow, like really slow, especially if you have a slow internet. But the installed system is fine.
