As per topic, is there some way to have - the old feature where one could add a repo by URL in the Online Repo Config section of the installer back - the NVIDIA repo present there - the Packman repo there Some time ago (10 years or more), the then lecal counsel of SUSE explained to me that the problem was, that even providing an easy way to enable a repo with legally / licensing-wise problematic stuff during installation was more or less legally identical to providing the packages.
And the difference of openSUSE to e.g. ubuntu is that ubuntu is a company with no money at all and no assets on some remote channel island (or something like that), so they get away with it because everyone knows that there is nothing to get from them. SUSE OTOH is different in this regard.
That's how I understood it back then, why this was not so easily done.
They have a server on that island. The office is in another country. Surely, this can simplified in 2021. I would like to see yast software manager's gui updated from mostly text to something more modernized. -- Cheers! Roman
