====== Download ======

===== GNOME Live =====
* For Live USB sessions (use DVD above for installations)
* Has persistence on USB by-default
* Used for the environment for [[linux;notes;drive_wipe|Drive Wipes]]
* :!: 2024: Xfce Live image has issues with Locale which prevents ''python3-smbios-utils'' from working to set Dell fan speed profiles (TODO: Test GNOME)

====== Installation Notes ======
* :?: 2016: ''EFI/opensuse/grubx64.efi'' ((EFI file to boot and in the case of some Acer laptops, add to SecureBoot trust; doesn't matter if SecureBoot is enabled or not))
===== Partitioning =====
- :!: ext4 or ext2 ''/'' ((XFS doesn't support ''nobarrier''))
- No separate ''/home''
- Separate ''swap'' **without** suspend resize (still suspends fine without resize)
===== Boot Loader =====
* :!: 2024/05/18: systemd-boot doesn't delete old ''initrd''s automatically, doesn't handle typewriter apostrophes, doesn't support ''dracut.conf'' settings, and doesn't seem faster than GRUB
====== PackageKit ======
* PackageKit is an long-standing, consistent annoyance when using ''zypper'' at random times
* This uninstalls it, and prevents it from being automatically re-installed
* :!: This was //still// necessary as of 2024/05/06
sudo systemctl stop 'packagekit' && sudo zypper remove 'PackageKit' && sync
sudo zypper addlock 'PackageKit'
====== Repositories ======
===== Keybase =====
* https://keybase.io
* Repository Priority: 98
* Provides the Keybase GUI client
* :!: The repo itself isn't signed, but the packages are ((the imported key gets referenced once the ''keybase'' package downloads through ''zypper'', before its installation))
sudo rpm --import 'https://keybase.io/docs/server_security/code_signing_key.asc' && sudo zypper addrepo --check --refresh --priority '98' --no-gpgcheck 'http://prerelease.keybase.io/rpm/$basearch' 'Keybase'

* This works on Wayland as well as GNOME on Xorg even with Wayland globally-disabled from ''custom.conf''
* :!: The numbers ''103'' and after the ''connector'' change depending on the hardware and need checked from ''proptest'' on a Wayland session ((the current values are specific to a Dell Latitude 5591 and its onboard HDMI port))
