Hey I just want to suggest that you add an option to set opensuse back to factory defaults somehow. I use kde plasma so if you could use that somehow would be cool or even if its a root command that would be awesome. thanks for reading have a good day.
complete install. like remove ALL installed stuff.
@errigour If your running btrfs and snapper and kept the original snapshot after install, then yes you could rollback to that.

How would that be different from reinstalling?
Wouldnât that only rollback / though? Everything in opt, root, home and the rest would still be as it was.
Hi malcolm, would you mind elaborating a little on this? 
IMHO there is not such a thing as âfactory defaultsâ. During installation many decisions are taken (, time zone and date/time, what to not install from the suggestions, first user, what to install extra beside the suggestions, different partitioning from the suggestion, etc. etc.). Thus from the very first boot of a freshly installed system it already customised.
Nevertheless, when you want that situation back, a snapshot, like Malcolm suggests, might be the way to go (but that solution of course only works with a Btrfs root file system), or a byte by byte copy (dd) from the disk (or some partitions) to some other storage.

Alright snapshot would prolly work fine for me but unfortunetly I donât have btrfs file system. If I reinstall i might consider it thanks.
