And now with Discover … notice there IS A difference that Discover will perform that zypper does not.
.
This is something interesting I discovered [-cough-] about Discover … I’ve circled the item of interest. Discover can do updates to the BIOS and related. This is one advantage of Discover. So, for me, I ran “zypper up” first, then rebooted (because of kernel updates), then ran Discover to do the UEFI update. (after I did the zypper up and rebooted, Discovered only showed the UEFI update).
