Warning: The packaging of the elementary project for openSUSE is still in early experimental stages.

At this time we are looking for new Pantheon maintainers!

Currently, there are two branches of repositories: experimental and stable. The stable branch is only available for Tumbleweed.

Adding the stable Pantheon branch repository for Tumbleweed:

sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Pantheon:/Branch/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Pantheon_stable

Installing Pantheon desktop:

sudo zypper install patterns-pantheon-pantheon

Now you can choose Pantheon as desktop environment at your login screen.

Warning: The experimental branch is not recommended for new users nor is it recommended for use as a daily driver. There is constant development being done here. This means you WILL encounter bugs, some of which can result in a broken system.

In order to use the experimental branch, you need to have the Gnome:Next repository including dependend factory repositories enabled.

Read the requirements and instructions to add the Gnome:Next repository! Don't skip this step or you won't be able to use the experimental branch!

Adding the experimental Pantheon branch repository for Tumbleweed:

sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Pantheon/openSUSE_Factory/ Pantheon_experimental
