Lord of the Rolling Release Part 1 - openSUSE Tumbleweed Installation
In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk through the complete process of installing openSUSE Tumbleweed from a Windows system. The guide covers downloading and verifying the installation ISO, creating a bootable USB drive with Balena Etcher, configuring the installer, setting up partitions, enabling disk encryption, selecting a desktop environment, and completing the first boot.
I also cover common troubleshooting steps for NVIDIA graphics cards, Wi-Fi adapter considerations (including MediaTek devices), bootloader configuration, Secure Boot settings, and package selection during installation.
