If I understand well, don't use bash or don't use systemd or don't use
Opensuse.
Or give a real solution to people that run into problems because Opensuse
decides to change their mind.

Just tell me how can I define an environment variable for some colors ?
Just tell me how can I defined bash functions that are not available in the
binaries.

That should not be very difficult for Opensuse guru.
