openSUSE Tumbleweed

My distro of choice is openSUSE Tumbleweed.
If you're curious about why I picked this distro, you can read about it on the Linux page.

While I enjoy using openSUSE, it's far from perfect!
But with a few minor tweaks, I think it's a solid choice.

This script does most of the tweaks for me and may not be very useful to others.
(it will overwrite your settings!)
However, feel free to take parts of it if you'd like!

## Hezkore's openSUSE tweak script

## NVIDIA drivers
# "Back in the day" this was a bit tricky
# But I think this works now...
sudo zypper install openSUSE-repos-Tumbleweed-NVIDIA
sudo zypper install-new-recommends --repo repo-non-free

# NVIDIA Settings
# Even tough it's not very good... protip: never use it to adjust the resolution
sudo zypper install nvidia-utils*

# sudo reboot now
# After the reboot, check the NVIDIA Settings to make sure it detected your card

## Media Codecs
# These just magically worked for me... I'll have to investigate this at some point
# Here's a test video:

## Set hostname
# I don't understand why this isn't asked during the installation, but oh well
echo -n "Enter the hostname: "; read PICKED_HOSTNAME
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname $PICKED_HOSTNAME

# Surprisingly, this change will mess up a bunch of things until you reboot

## Theming
