🦎 dotfiles-openSUSE

openSUSE — both flavors, one config. The openSUSE layer (zypper) — Tumbleweed and Leap, over the shared core.

zypper · zsh · nvim · tmux

---

The OS-native layer for openSUSE (Tumbleweed + Leap). Core (zsh/tmux/nvim/git) is vendored under core/ from dotfiles-core; this repo adds only what is genuinely openSUSE — zypper, Packman, AppArmor, Btrfs/snapper, the Wayland clipboard shim.

Stamped from the dotfiles-Fedora template per core/PORTING-MATRIX.md: same structure, swapped package manager (dnf→zypper) and a couple of distro quirks.

Install (fresh openSUSE)

git clone <you>/dotfiles-openSUSE ~/dotfiles-openSUSE
cd ~/dotfiles-openSUSE
# one-time: vendor Core (skip if the repo already contains core/)
git subtree add --prefix=core <you>/dotfiles-core main --squash
./bootstrap.sh
exec zsh

Flags: --links-only (re-link without touching zypper), --no-flatpak.

Layout

bootstrap.sh           zypper provision + Core/OS symlink wiring (idempotent)
install/packages.txt   zypper package list (modern CLI stack)
os/opensuse.zsh        OS-native shell layer -> symlinked to ~/.config/zsh/os.zsh
os/opensuse.gitconfig  OS git layer (credential helper) -> ~/.config/git/os.gitconfig
os/opensuse.conf       tmux netspeed/battery bits -> ~/.config/tmux/os.conf
ssh/config             hardened SSH client config -> ~/.ssh/config (keys never tracked)
wsl/wsl.conf           installed to /etc/wsl.conf on WSL
core/                  vendored from dotfiles-core (git subtree; do not hand-edit)

Load order in .zshrc: core/tools → core/aliases → core/functions → core/fzf → core/bindings → core/plugins → core/op → os/opensuse → local.

openSUSE specifics baked in

• Tumbleweed vs Leap — the update command differs, and it bites. Tumbleweed (rolling) upgrades with zypper dup (aliased zdup); Leap (stable) uses zypper up (aliased zup). Get it wrong and you either don't really update or you half-update. bootstrap.sh only refreshes metadata — it never force-runs an upgrade — so the choice stays yours.
• zypper's solver is the best of these distros — lean on it. On a Tumbleweed dup, vendor-change / package-split prompts are normal; read them, don't reflexively decline.
• AppArmor, not SELinux, is openSUSE's default MAC. The shell layer ships aa-status / aa-complain / aa-enforce / aa-unconfined (from apparmor-utils) where Fedora had se-* helpers.
• Rollback is Btrfs + snapper, not package history. zypper has no history undo; instead the root filesystem is snapshotted around each zypper transaction. snaps lists them; revert with snapper undochange or by booting a snapshot. This is one of openSUSE's best features.
• Packman is the third-party repo for codecs/multimedia (openSUSE's analog to Fedora's RPM Fusion). It's not auto-added by bootstrap because the repo URL differs Tumbleweed-vs-Leap and isn't needed for the CLI stack. Add it manually if you want codecs, then zypper dup --from packman to switch vendors.
• fd is packaged as fd here (binary fd), unlike Debian's fdfind; core/zsh/tools.zsh resolves the name automatically.
• starship / atuin / yazi / tree-sitter-cli aren't reliably in openSUSE repos, so bootstrap.sh installs them from upstream (cargo for yazi + tree-sitter) to match the other distro repos exactly.
• WSL: openSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap WSL images work fine; bootstrap.sh writes /etc/wsl.conf (systemd + your user + interop). Run wsl.exe --shutdown after.
