Installing on Hard Disks With Less Than 12 GB of Capacity
The installer will only propose a partitioning scheme if the available hard disk size is larger than 12 GB. If you want to set up, for example, very small virtual machines images, use the guided partitioner to tune partitioning parameters manually.
UEFI—Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
Prior to installing openSUSE on a system that boots using UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), you are urgently advised to check for any firmware updates the hardware vendor recommends and, if available, to install such an update. A pre-installation of Windows 8 or later is a strong indication that your system boots using UEFI.
<emphasis>Background:</emphasis> Some UEFI firmware has bugs that cause it to break if too much data gets written to the UEFI storage area. However, there is no clear data of how much is <quote>too much</quote>.
openSUSE minimizes the risk by not writing more than the bare minimum required to boot the OS. The minimum means telling the UEFI firmware about the location of the openSUSE boot loader. Upstream Linux kernel features that use the UEFI storage area for storing boot and crash information (<literal>pstore</literal>) have been disabled by default. Nevertheless, it is recommended to install any firmware updates the hardware vendor recommends.
UEFI, GPT, and MS-DOS Partitions
Together with the EFI/UEFI specification, a new style of partitioning arrived: GPT (GUID Partition Table). This new schema uses globally unique identifiers (128-bit values displayed in 32 hexadecimal digits) to identify devices and partition types.
Additionally, the UEFI specification also allows legacy MBR (MS-DOS) partitions. The Linux boot loaders (ELILO or GRUB 2) try to automatically generate a GUID for those legacy partitions, and write them to the firmware. Such a GUID can change frequently, causing a rewrite in the firmware. A rewrite consists of two different operations: Removing the old entry and creating a new entry that replaces the first one.
Modern firmware has a garbage collector that collects deleted entries and frees the memory reserved for old entries. A problem arises when faulty firmware does not collect and free those entries. This can result in a non-bootable system.
To work around this problem, convert the legacy MBR partition to GPT.

Packaging Changes
Deprecated Packages
Deprecated packages are still shipped as part of the distribution but are scheduled to be removed the next version of openSUSE Leap. These packages exist to aid migration, but their use is discouraged and they may not receive updates.
To check whether installed packages are no longer maintained, make sure that the <package>lifecycle-data-openSUSE</package> package is installed, then use the command:
zypper lifecycle
Removed Packages
Removed packages are not shipped as part of the distribution anymore.
<package>python2</package>: Python 2 reached EOL and will no longer be part of distribution. For more information, see <link xlink:href="https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/15"/>.
<package>cloud-init-vmware-guestinfo</package>: Package does not work with <literal>cloud-init</literal> version 21.2 and later versions. In <literal>cloud-init</literal> 21.4 there is a new data source that replaces it.
<package>digikam</package>: Digikam is no longer available on ppc64le as libqt5-qtwebkit was dropped. Package will be provided only for x86_64, aarch64, and armv7 architectures.
<package>chessx</package>: Removed because of a startup issue and problems with upstream. For more information, see <link xlink:href="https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192907"/>.
<package>gap</package>: Removed because the package is not FHS-compliant. For more information, see <link xlink:href="https://code.opensuse.org/leap/features/issue/24"/>.
<package>tensorflow</package>: Removed because the package Tensorflow 1.x is deprecated, package tensorflow2 should be used instead.
