Perhaps it would be worth having a session at the next meeting on the
options. openSUSE appears to have two separate options - command line
and GUI - so that if one goes down the other is available.
On one occasion (the only one in over eight years of using SUSE and
openSUSE) when someone borked an update to a package, they simply
published a command line sequence to restore the missing functionality.
