Hi I am extremely new to linux so if i could get simple step by step instructions that are dummed down it would really help. Right now i am extremely angry with opensuse’s creators because they created a great system, but it isn’t stable in terms of connecting to the internet. its stable because it barely crashes only thing that happens is it can freeze up sometimes for a bit and then start working again anyway getting to the point I’ve opening ports in the firewall to updating the dhcp client which worked for a bit, but when i rebooted it the problem started again i tried updating again and it still didn’t work the first time i installed it i was able browse the web but i had to reinstall because of a boot error that wouldn’t let me log in at all.
I cant connect to google at all. All i can access are opensuse pages and forums. This is my in my netconfig dns-resolver file info. #!/bin/bash

$DESTFILE file autogenerated by netconfig!
Before you change this file manually, consider to define the
static DNS configuration using the following variables in the
/etc/sysconfig/network/config file:
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST
NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS
NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER
or disable DNS configuration updates via netconfig by setting:
NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY=’’
See also the netconfig(8) manual page and other documentation.
Note: Manual change of this file disables netconfig too, but
may get lost when this file contains comments or empty lines
only, the netconfig settings are same with settings in this
file and in case of a “netconfig update -f” call.
Please remove (at least) this line when you modify the file!

IDK what else to look for could be dhcp configuration problems or something else, but i need an answer very fast. I used to use ubuntu which never has this problem, but it is very unstable freezing and software crashes namely. I also have another problem with an emulator called vba express i get no sound from it at all but everything else works soundwise so its not alsa i’m sure. I would very much appreciate some help with both of these asap I also had a problem with it running the roms too fast and all of the other forums i checked didnt have a solution and there was no throttle menu but i fixed it by setting a throttle in the config file thats the only way to fix it. so what you have to do is for normal speed set throttle to 64 that sets it to 100% which is normal speed setting and i tried adjusting the sound setting by increasing the volume in the gui it didnt work. So any suggestions for one or both.
