Hey TRG
Make clean text install check only basic server nothing more, when
you are asked to chose repos check all but debug.
After installation completes and the system reboots it self log in
and edit
1. /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and add the line
solver.onlyRequires = true
or in in
/etc/zypp/zypper.conf change
the value from installRecommends = yes to installRecommends = no
Choose one or the other
save file and reboot
2. Finally you can do it via zypper switch zypper in
--no-recommends package. <--- if you want a alighter system
points 1,2,3 are recomended
3. install minimal xorg / with yast -->pattens Very basic
Desktop exclude everything but patterns-base-x11
reboot
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/Xorg <--- this is crucial without
this you will see a message that xorg seuid or uid or something is
wrong and you should use reconfigure -- something command as root
In the and giving that command takes you no where
https://chmodcommand.com/chmod-4755/ <-- if you are curious
what works
reboot
zypper install xinit xdm fluxbox NetworkManager NetworkManager-applet
without those two you are fucked if you relay on wifi and you use fluxbox or some box WM
create ~/.xinitrc edit this via vim or whatever cli text editor
exec startfluxbox
then save
Xdm is required for startx to work, without it xinit will shutdown
with errors, complaining about .Xauthority and .serverauth not
present in /home/user dir.
Crazy but true. Yes i could create them manually but it was 02:15
in the morning after 3 days of fighting with this running a dozen
WM's I just don't give a duck.
By unchecking a few +a packages you can shrink installed packages
to around 390 and it can be shrinked furthermore. Default patterns
are bloat as hell.
That being said this system was not design to be slim but to be
solid and effortless during install
Ok we can restart the system
login and use startx
It will fail at first but on second try it wil work and start
your fluxbox
ram consumption 411 to 426 MB on clean vanilla fluxbox.
I will try to trim it further if I fail my sad basement will become even sadder.
it is not perfect but this is a working solution, later i will
work on graphical DM login probably by changing systemd target to
graphical by
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target I will investigate this
further.
If you install Open suse with any preconfigured DE you will get
graphical target in
cat /etc/systemd/system/default.target | grep "Description="
so that maybe a case.
Oh without your link

it would took me a weak or two to resolve this not 2-3 days , so
thank you mate.
I really considering to starting use suse, maybe do a switch from
debian / debian'ish family systems.
Suse tumbleweed advantages
1.Yast2 hands down only thing that can somewhat compare with yast
is aptitude. Yet yast interface is way more intuitive to use, and
its way better designed then aptitude.
2. rolling
3.solid
4.Simple
5. Funfuckingnastic system
disadventages
1.Patterns are bloated as fuck. Debian low level tools are better
if you want create small system from the start
