It's updating your desktop so that's why it does that. The safest way is to log out of your desktop session and login via terminal (press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to one) and run zypper dup.
Install the pam_kwallet package. Then it will automatically unlock on login.
Files in /run will be (re)created (and removed) at runtime if/when needed by programs that need them. They pose no problems and don't persist between reboots.
I'd say a good rule of thumb for a beginner is not to touch anything outside of their own home directory. Modifying or deleting files in other locations is an easy way to break your system.
Depends on the alternative. E.g. Fedora and OpenSuse have very active communities and lots of help available.
It's about data harvesting and selling not safety or any other mentioned.
OpenSuse Tumbleweed uses 2.38 so not affected by this.
Depends on the engineering field, I have out a few specific examples of highly payed engineering fields that can’t get away from Windows.
Do share what they are.
Like the system is not made for working and barely support it for actual computer work.
Have noticed the same.
One example why windows is bad for a developer. Lets say you work with node.js Eventually you'll end up with node_modules directory in you project with tens of thousands of files and thousands of directories. If you delete that directory in windows it takes minutes. In Linux it's instantaneous.
The point here is that the company trusts their employees to use the best tools for them, be secure and do the right thing. Be the most productive. Windows needs that kind of third party snake-oil like AV software and restrictive policies to run it somewhat secure. Most Linux distros are already secure by design out of the box. Drive-by malware and hacking are a thing in windows not Linux.
Of course there are best practices and guidelines for running your system securely, how to handle sensitive data etc.
For now. I'm quite sure that option will disappear at some point in the not too distant future.
