   Today I'm doing an #OpenSUSE #MicroOS installation with encryption. Now I know to click on Partitioning to do that during the install.

   Once in the running system in #GNOME Boxes, I copied /bin/mod-firstboot into /home, commented out the three lines that use ping to check for Internet, and I'm running the firstboot script from the terminal.

     Like @jorge says -- #OpenSUSE #MicroOS has some key defaults:

     * Flathub out of the box with the --user flag
     * Flathub Firefox out of the box
     * Distrobox instead of Toolbx
     * Extension Manager instead of Extensions
     * Rolling release based on #Tumbleweed
     * Automatic updates

     Went pretty well. That firstboot script takes forever because the first few Flatpaks need a LOT of dependencies. I wish the GUI was able to tell you what was happening like you would see if you ran flatpak from the command line.
