Make Intel baytrail based device(s) work better with openSUSE a project by mkubecek Recently I became a (not very proud) owner of Acer Aspire Switch 10E, a small notebook/tablet convertible based on Intel baytrail platform. Replacing preinstalled (32-bit!) Windows 8.1 with (64-bit) openSUSE proved more challenging than expected, mostly because the device is haunted by a 32-bit UEFI so that it took me a week to make it boot without an external USB flash disk. Updated almost 6 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.
update+fix samsung exynos/arndale arm board boot a project by bmwiedemann We had old arndale images working, but those were based on openSUSE-12.x which is now long obsolete and bad (e.g. missing security updates). Updated almost 8 years ago. No love.
Cuddle the i2c-i801 kernel driver a project by jdelvare The i2c-i801 kernel driver (for SMBus controller on most x86 Intel systems) has a lot of pending upstream patches from various contributors. There are bug fixes, clean-ups and new features. Without proper reviewing and merging work, most of the effort is likely to be lost. Updated almost 8 years ago. No love.
Make Tumbleweed work on the GPD Win a project by aplazas The GPD Win is a Nintendo 3DS XL sized PC featuring a keyboard and gaming controls. Having openSUSE working on it would be great, unfortunately Tumbleweed doesn't work at all on it and Leap 42.2 is lacking many important features. Updated almost 6 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
Secure keyboard an idea by mwilck This idea was inspired by the recent discussion on the "talk" mailing list about the (in)security of the German ID card. The Chaos Computer Club and other researchers claim that the ID card is insecure. Actual attacks that have been demonstrated are based on keyloggers. Updated about 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. Has no hacker: grab it!
Upstreaming of mediatek helios board an idea by mbrugger The only Mediatek "hacker" board available is from 96 Boards [1]. Unfortunately up to now there is nearly no mainline support. Idea would be to improve this situation. The idea would be to get the pin-controller merged first and then hopefully most of the other stuff can be just added (fingers crossed...)

openSUSE/SLE/Mainline U-boot for some not-yet-supported ARM64 boards an idea by ldevulder The Khadas VIM (http://khadas.com/vim/) is an arm64 DIY Set-Top-Box based on Amlogic P212 reference board that use S905X SoC. Updated almost 3 years ago. 7 hacker ♥️. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!
netlink interface for ethtool a project by mkubecek There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started. Updated almost 5 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
Help with mainline support for the Mediatek chromebook (MT8173 based) a project by mbrugger Lately the necessary patches to get rudimentary support for the Mediatek chromebook with a mainline kernel got posted. There are some hacks and I'll work on some good solution to get graphics go, at least. Updated about 5 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.
Kernel Boot/Testing Framework with LinuxKit a project by vrothberg Problem statement Once a kernel is built, a developer/janitor may want to boot the kernel for various reasons, such as performing simple boot test or running tests and workloads from user space or simply playing around in a shell. However, an easy to use and a descriptive tool to perform those tasks doesn't exist to our knowledge. Updated almost 3 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
