How to update OpenSUSE Linux software and kernel using CLI

To update OpenSUSE Linux software and kernel using the command line, you can use the “zypper” command.

First, update the package index by running:

sudo zypper refresh

Then, update all installed packages by running:

sudo zypper update

You can also update specific packages by specifying their names after the “update” command.

To update the kernel, you can use the command:
