I bought my first Yoga 13 few years back, and have enjoyed both the laptop and Lenovo support. However, a laptop with a “real” tablet mode was always some thing I really wanted, and when I saw the Thinkpad Yoga 14 only for 849$, that was a dream come true.
The laptop itself is a great device. It looks professional, the keyboard is exceptional, screen, solidity and everything is much better than most laptops you can get under 1000$. The best part, however, is it’s digitizer screen. I wouldn’t dwell too much on the laptop however, so let’s look at the installation on OpenSUSE.
I installed the “OpenSUSE LEAP 42.1 Milestone 1” a while back, and it’s been working quite well. However, trying to test an pre-beta version with a new computer, and trying to update frequently is bound to give problems. And given the RC1 recently came out, I decided to re-install, and hence the blogpost.
Disk Setup
I installed two SSD’s on the TPY14. One for
/home and /work (or something of the sort —/cuore in my case), the other for the OS. This setup has helped me keep my Documents, Music and school/work related files while also giving me the freedom to play around with different OSs.
sda -
sda1 -> FAT -> /boot/efi - for EFI Boot
sda2 -> BtrFS -> / - Root partition. I have loved snapshots in BtrFS. There might be some minor hickups, but I think it’s great specially if you want stability not compromised while testing new things.
sda3 -> swap
sda1 -> FAT -> /boot/efi - for EFI Boot
sda2 -> BtrFS -> / - Root partition. I have loved snapshots in BtrFS. There might be some minor hickups, but I think it’s great specially if you want stability not compromised while testing new things.

sdb -

sdb2 -> BtrFS -> /cuore - WORK

Installation
Few adjustments I made to the installation process might not be really necessary, but they were,
- Added online repositories,
- Configured wireless,
- Added some extra patterns that I knew I will use,
I should note that the wireless worked out of the box. It did complain I didn’t set it up few times along the way even though I had, but just pressing
next in the network setup step again seemed to work.
Installation went without hick-ups, though, there were some crash reports when the desktop first loaded. But I guess it’s still RC1, so cannot complain.

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is in fact the ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than we do.
(Just so you know, it is not about genetics or some secret exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING about "how" they are eating.)
BTW, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
