How to install openSUSE on Linux

Installing openSUSE on Linux can be accomplished in the following steps:

1. First, you need to download a disk image from the official openSUSE website. Choose the version and architecture that matches your system. The disk image can be downloaded as an ISO file
2. Then you need to create a bootable USB drive or DVD with the disk image. To do this, you can use a disk burning program such as Brasero or GNOME Disk Utility in GNOME, or K3b in KDE.
3. After creating the bootable media, you must restart your computer and boot from it. Depending on your BIOS or UEFI settings, the rescue media may be selected in the list of bootable devices when you start your computer.
4. After booting from the rescue media, the openSUSE installation screen will appear. On this screen you should select the installation language and other settings.
5. Then you should select the type of installation (e.g., typical, LVM, or disk encryption) and the disk partitions on which openSUSE will be installed.
6. After that, you need to select the network settings, such as network interface settings, IP and DNS addresses.
7. You need to select a hostname, set a password for the root user and create a regular user.
8. Once you have finished configuring the installation settings, you can start the openSUSE installation itself. The installation process will take some time depending on the performance of your computer.
9. Once openSUSE is installed, the system will reboot and you will be able to log in using the credentials that were specified during the installation.

Next, you can start working in openSUSE. It provides many tools for system customization, such as YaST, which is the central system management tool in openSUSE.

Also openSUSE supports many graphical development environments and applications such as LibreOffice, Firefox, VLC, GIMP and many others that can be installed through the package manager.

Installing openSUSE on Linux is quite easy and is not different from installing other Linux distributions. By following the steps above, you should be able to install openSUSE on your computer and start working in this operating system.
