Installation guide for openSUSE novice Tumbleweed step by step

This time I will take advantage of you to share this openSUSE installation guide, to be specific to your Tumbleweed version. This version, in comparison to the others offered by openSUSE, is a Rolling Release version.

In this case I decided to install openSUSE Tumbleweed because it is boring and tiresome to have to update a system every time there is a new version, that's why I like the systems more relaying. For those who do not know this model, I will tell you a little, the rolling reads this is always in continuous development as it refers to a software system in constant development, we will always have the latest but stable.

Without more, we will start with the installation process, there are many people who think that the system is intended for advanced users, when it is not, for those who are new to Linux they should only do their part and have patience.

Just a comment, if you are not completely sure of what you are going to do, I recommend you first use a virtual machine.

Installation Guide of openSUSE Tumbleweed

First of all, we must take into account the requirements for a good performance of the system:

Requirements to install
openSUSE 64bit processor
1GB RAM minimum, more is better
10GB minimum disk, more is better
DVD or USB port
Internet connection

Download of the system

The next step is to download the image of the system so we go to its official website and in the download section it will offer several mirrors of where we can obtain the system.

Prepare the installation medium

If you are going to use a DVD to record the image you can use the following programs:

Windows: We can burn ISO with Imgburn, UltraISO, Nero or any other program even without them in Windows 7 and later gives us the option to right click on the ISO.

Linux: You can use any CD image management tool especially the one that comes with the graphic environments, among them are Brasero, k3b, and Xfburn.

If you are going to occupy a USB device you can occupy the following:

Windows: You can use Universal USB Installer or LinuxLive USB Creator, both are easy to use. Although there is also a tool that is provided directly by the openSUSE team, it is called SUSE Studio ImageWriter.

Linux: We can also search for imagewriter that is the same utility as Windows and create our usable bootable or from the terminal we can use the dd command.

dd bs=4M if=/ruta/a/openSUSE.iso of=/ruta/a/tu/usb sync

Step by step installation of openSUSE Tumbleweed

Done the previous thing, we inserted our means of installation and we boot it. We will find the first screen where we will select the "Install" option It will start loading everything necessary to start the installation.

After the process the first screen that appears, is where we select our language and keyboard layout, here we also show the terms and conditions of the use of the system:

The next option is where it will give us to choose which desktop environment we are going to install or otherwise, if it is to use the distribution with server functions. In the customized option we find the following options, where we can choose the packages in a more personalized way, we can also see that it shows us two other environments.

LXDE and XFCE.

If you are a novice just choose a desk environment, I would recommend that you start with LXDE or XFCE, I chose plasma in my case.

Then we will have to choose where the system will be installed, where the first is to install it on the entire disk. If you have another operating system or simply want to do a custom installation, we will select the option "Existing partitions"

Once this point is defined, the following is to select our time zone:

And finally we create our system user, I recommend deactivating the automatic start:

Finally, it unfolds the configurations that we have chosen and we only have to click on install, we will get a confirmation screen where we are aware of what we are doing and that there is no turning back.

Finally, the installation of the system and the download of the packages will begin.

Here you just have to wait, since the time of downloading the packages and installation will depend on your internet connection.

At the end we only remove our installation medium and we have already started our system normally.

Mega is faster and better, this service gives us the possibility to obtain a free account, which allows us to accommodate up to 50 GB of files at a great advantage compared to other competitors such as ADrive, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. Like all file services in the cloud, we can access our data from any device with the simple requirement of using a browser and an internet connection.
