hello dear community

to spell it out clearly… i am after some tipps for an **openSUSE Leap 42.2 post installation guide/tweaks

**in other words:

Fresh installation of openSUSE Leap 42.2 comes with an ordinary and very very plain system, That said - we can see that it’s not enough to make our desktop as a user friendly.
We have to tweak & adjust some settings, also install some additional software’s to make the Desktop more easier as well as better for daily use.

the very first step should be a **Check for updates
**

[Updating system packages to latest version]
$ sudo zypper update
or
$ sudo zypper up

what do you say - is there any thing else needed!?

zypper up

will bring you the newest versions of he packages on the repositories you are subscribed to, including the patches from the Update repos.

If you want the latest kernel, then add the stable kernels repo:
Daily builds for branch stable

However, that page is probably out of date, since “kernel-desktop” no longer exists. You would probably want “kernel-default” instead. Or just allow “zypper up” to select.

In all honesty: if everything is working well, and you are not trying to solve a specific problem, then I advise against doing this. It will only make for more work for you.

?? Why not mention the update pop up bottom right on the task bar. Some of the updates that have been applied since I installed 42.2 have been sequential - one needed before the other can be applied.

Going on that if zypper is used it will have to be used several times until it reports system up to date.

I do not believe that. Please give an example of a package that shows such behaviour.

Yes, I am waiting for an example, as well.

Only one I can think of is that zypper and related packages upgrade before others in some cases

Yes, and that is easy to understand why.
But that is not what @ajohnw thinks he experienced.
