Hello,

In the mean time we can disable this fips stuff for openSUSE I guess as openSUSE won't be validated for fips anyways, right?

Can you explain what this "fips stuff" is, please?

I guess it's some US federal thing:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Information_Processing_Standard

Should anything fips* be required for openSUSE? In YaST during installation I tried to remove it, but it complained that it was required by openssh and grub2.

Sorry? *What* was required by grub2 exactly?

I tried taboo'ing fipscheck and libfips* (I think it was) - openssh and grub2 complained about those being required.
