Hey there,
i am brand new to opensuse. (dual booting with ubuntu) anyways, i was
wondering after you install new software via the yast software manager,
where to go to locate it? i checked the application browser, and could
not find what i was looking for. i tried with wine, and then a much
simpler game; then re installed both just to make sure there weren’t any
mistakes. so can anyone help out?

This is one of my top pet peeves about Linux, by the way, and very
nearly drove me away from it when I first switched to it several years
ago. What would be so difficult about a distro-specific RPM (or other
package type, for that matter) displaying a “finished!” message that
included the simple line, “the main program executable is
/usr/bin/new_prog” or something like that? Better yet, if an icon has
been placed in the GUI’s menu, saying “you’ll find it under K-Menu(or
whatever)->Applications->Stuff_That_Stinks”?
You can go back into Yast, open Software management and search for the
package again. Click the package, then select “file list” at the lower
right of the window. Suse does highlight the executable(s) name(s) for
you in that list.
