  • Do you have something like polkit-gnome installed?

    Edit: Glad you found a solution. Just for completeness: You also have to start the polkit agent via your sway config file. For polkit-gnome it would have been

     
        
    exec /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
    
    
      
  • Patterns almost made me skip opensuse, until I locked most of them so they won't annoy me anymore. I start with only selecting some basic patterns in the installer:

     plain
        
    apparmor      
    base          
    documentation 
    enhanced_base 
    minimal_base  
    sw_management 
    x86_64_v3 
    
      

    When installed, I run this in my fresh system:

     bash
        
    # save the currently installed patterns in a variable
    installedPatterns=$(zypper se --type pattern --installed-only | grep -E "(.*\|){3}" | cut -d'|' -f2 | tail -n+2)
    
    # lock every existing pattern
    sudo zypper addlock --type pattern $(zypper search --type pattern | grep -E "(.*\|){3}" | cut -d'|' -f2 | tail -n+2)
    
    # lock every package starting with "yast"
    sudo zypper addlock yast*
    
    # unlock the patterns you had installed
    sudo zypper removelock --type pattern $installedPatterns
    
      

    Pro:

    • Only real dependencies get installed when adding packages
    • Nothing re-installs because it belongs to an installed pattern
    • No need for --no-recommends

    Con:

    • You have to find out the packages you need yourself

    For a minimal gnome install, use these packages (likely some more depending on you setup):

     plain
        
    avahi
    evince
    flatpak
    fwupd
    gedit
    gnome-calculator
    gnome-disk-utility
    gnome-keyring
    gnome-session-wayland
    gnome-system-monitor
    gnome-terminal
    gnome-tweaks
    gnome-user-share
    gparted
    gtk2-metatheme-arc
    gtk3-metatheme-arc
    gtk4-metatheme-arc
    libqt5-qtwayland
    loupe
    MozillaFirefox
    MozillaFirefox-translations-common
    pipewire-pulseaudio
    qt6-wayland
    sane-airscan
    simple-scan
    tpm2.0-tools
    wireplumber-audio
    xdg-user-dirs
    xdg-user-dirs-gtk
    
      

    Bonus tip: When removing software, use the -u flag for less bloat being left behind:

     plain
        
     -u, --clean-deps
           Automatically remove dependencies which become unneeded after removal of requested packages.
