#openSUSE

After installing the Zoom app I found it quite annoying to have that small applet in the systray bar just after each restart, And even more annoying I haven’t been able to find a clear method to stop the autoloading of the related daemon as I would do for whatever else SystemD daemon.

Thanks to the openSUSE Build Service infrastructure, tons of free software is packaged by third part users and made available to every openSUSE user.

In a previous article I have shown how to upgrade a distro using zypper and the recently released plugin zypper-upgradedistro, but some issues might always happen for a specific version, that’s why I collected all the changes and the tweaks I applied switching from openSUSE Leap 15.3 to 15.4 during and after the installation process.

After using the procedure explained for years in the upgrade with zypper article, I decided to collect all these steps in a practical script, which take care of all the statuses and, when needed, asks for confirmations, or suggests how to proceed manually in particular situations.

After an upgrade or an installation from scratch, we might notice a weird behavior while navigating among the streaming websites: some videos play well, others raise an error like:

The media couldn’t be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported
