1.x

A small script for openSuse Tumbleweed to...

  • install popular software, tools and hardware-drivers with a few clicks

  • automatically reinstall software you had on previous linux installations by locating existing configuration files in your home folder

  • perform system upgrade with a tick (zypper dup)

  • One click set up for very unexperienced users, it will...

      -  add repositories for multimediapackages (Packman) and NVIDIA drivers. 
  
  - install super common software
  
              audacity; chromium; discord; obs-studio; vlc; steam; wine; youtube-dl 
              
  - install multimedia codecs
  
  - install microsoft licensed True Type Fonts

Usage:

  • From most graphical file managers:

    Simply download and start the script inside the tar.gz. Make sure it's executable. You can "Install" it by execute the install.sh. It will copy all the files to /usr/share/... to have a global service and menu entry

  • From Terminal:

    sh $PATH/install.sh

Requirements:

  • xterm
  • zenity

(both should be preinstalled with openSuse Tumbleweed, script will check for both anyways and inform you if something is missing; Zenity will be installed right away within the script)

Notes:

I'm not a professional coder in any ways. Expect "not so clean" code, but hey, it works.

Feel free to make suggestions or changes.

Road to 1.5:

  • have a binary instead of a plain script
  • add current user to "games" group when installing steam controller support
  • add some libs with steam installation for flawless gaming experience (some games still have issues due to missing libs on openSuse and wont work as intended)
  • add some additional applications
  • add more revivable software (help needed)
  • lock on one nvidia driver (if both selected) OR generate pop up message if both selected
  • add manuals
  • purge temporary files on installation error / after system upgrade
  • add chrome browser
