tumbleweed-noob-tool

(current version 2.0.1)

2.0

Usage:

• Download the folder and execute the tnt file (./tnt)
• The folders are relevant and should not be re- moved or changed (For now)

Requirements:

• xterm

Known issues:

• Autosetup is not implemented yet
• Software resurrection is not implemented yet

1.x

A small script for openSuse Tumbleweed to...

• install popular software, tools and hardware-drivers with a few clicks

• automatically reinstall software you had on previous linux installations by locating existing configuration files in your home folder

• perform system upgrade with a tick (zypper dup)

• One click set up for very unexperienced users, it will...

    -  add repositories for multimediapackages (Packman) and NVIDIA drivers. 
    
    - install super common software
    
                audacity; chromium; discord; obs-studio; vlc; steam; wine; youtube-dl 
                
    - install multimedia codecs
    
    - install microsoft licensed True Type Fonts
  

Usage:

• From most graphical file managers:

  Simply download and start the script inside the tar.gz. Make sure it's executable. You can "Install" it by execute the install.sh. It will copy all the files to /usr/share/... to have a global service and menu entry

• From Terminal:

  sh $PATH/install.sh

Requirements:

• xterm
• zenity

(both should be preinstalled with openSuse Tumbleweed, script will check for both anyways and inform you if something is missing; Zenity will be installed right away within the script)

Notes:

I'm not a professional coder in any ways. Expect "not so clean" code, but hey, it works.

Feel free to make suggestions or changes.

Road to 1.5:

• have a binary instead of a plain script
• add current user to "games" group when installing steam controller support
• add some libs with steam installation for flawless gaming experience (some games still have issues due to missing libs on openSuse and wont work as intended)
• add some additional applications
• add more revivable software (help needed)
• lock on one nvidia driver (if both selected) OR generate pop up message if both selected
• add manuals
• purge temporary files on installation error / after system upgrade
• add chrome browser
