Disable Akonadi and Nepomuk

Akonadi and Nepomuk are kinda like Windows search / indexing. I really don’t have any use for it. They use a considerable amount of resources even if you don’t use it.
To disable Akonadi / Nepomuk:
1 – Configure Desktop > Desktop Search > Basic Settings > uncheck Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop
2 – Configure Desktop > Startup and Shutdown > Service Manager > uncheck Nepomuk Search Module
3 – Logout or Reboot

Install Microsoft Core Fonts (such as Arial, Times New Roman)

zypper install fetchmsttfonts


Install Infinality font rendering.

Although opensuse 13.1’s release notes said they have a “new font engine in Freetype 2.5″, but the font rendering still much worse than Ubuntu. That’s why we need Infinality font rendering.

Add the official namtrac:subpixel Infinality repository for openSUSE 13.1. This is the one maintained by the actual Infinality developer(s):

        zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/namtrac:/subpixel/openSUSE_13.2/ namtrac:subpixel


Switch system packages to the versions in the namtrac:subpixel repository, and mark for installation any other packages in    namtrac:subpixel that aren’t yet installed.
If you don’t know how to do above step, Check this link: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Vendor_change_update#Using_YaST_2
From the main openSUSE official repository, install the fontconfig-infinality
Make sure your desktop environment’s font configuration for subpixel hinting is set to “Use system settings” or something similar. Only if that option does not exist, set it to RGB order with slight hinting.
(Optional) Set all desktop fonts to your prefer.
Log out and log back in to your desktop.
