Installing Vivaldi on openSUSE

@Manuel73
add vivaldi repo to your openSuSE system# sudo zypper ar -ef https://repo.vivaldi.com/archive/rpm/x86_64 Vivaldi_stable
then, whenever you run 'sudo zypper up', vivaldi will be updated too.

I have already set it as the default system browser. Being a slightly old PC, the fluidity and speed of Vivaldi in loading pages has been very noticeable. It has rejuvenated the PC

.No it is Not.
'dup' (distribution upgrade) is to 'up grade' a full distribution to new version eg, leap 15.5 to 15.6
Not to 'up date' packages within a distro version.$ sudo zypper up - up dates installed packages
or
$ sudo zypper patch - allows install of important 'patches' eg, security, kernel, etc. -
@LandisTwo
or...
$ sudo zypper up 'vivaldi-stable'
to update a specific package ie, vivaldi. -
@LandisTwo Hello vivaldi community. I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed and I want to install vivaldi correctly so that it will update automatically. From what I have read in this thread the best option is to add the vivaldi repository manually and install vivaldi. The browser updates are then automatic when doing a zypper dup, right?
Thanks for Vivaldi!!!! -
@Maragato
Hi and welcome.
When you install Vivaldi with zypper the repository is added automatically.
On some distributions and some circumstances this doesn't work so you can add it manually if needed.Cheers, mib

@Maragato ,
Yes, but
use 'sudo zypper up'
'dup' is for distrobrustion upgrades. -
@LandisTwo
Hi, Tumbleweed is a rolling release there are no version upgrades like Leap get.
I used "dup" since Tumbleweed was published but I am not sure if this even make a difference using Tumbleweed.Cheers, mib
