How do you install and run ROS(melodic/lunar/kinetic) on openSUSE?
I need to deploy ROS(melodic/lunar or kinetic) on some lab machines at my university for a class. Sadly the labs all come with openSUSE and the IT services are refusing to install Ubuntu onto the systems. They suggest a virtual machine solution which is not fine as gazebo's performance is really bad on VMs. Is it possible to install ROS+gazebo on openSUSE? What are the incompatibilities between ROS and openSUSE?
I don't believe there is any official support for OpenSUSE at the moment in ROS 1 (nor ROS 2 afaik).
Some earlier Q&As about this: #q285158 and #q280315.
Summarising: you may be able to build things from sources, but it's likely that you'll need to fix some dependency issues.
