Please consider re-supporting OpenSuse/SUSE Linux Enterprise

[ahtotaat]

Until to v12.1 or so (rough 12y a go), RIA supported SLE/OpenSUSE distros. Then it was suddenly removed.

Please do consider re-adding that support!

Reason is very pragmatic: Linux-illiterates (esp. older gen.) can after little pointing manage configuration changes through Yast on their very own (which is analogous to pre-Win8 'Control Panel') 99% cases - without having to BEG further help. They would not have to keep up with changes in underlying commands/syntax over time - which in Linux are often (distributor would be adjusting Yast instead).

SLE/OpenSUSE has good Estonian language support already, thing missing is open-eid for it to be decent Windows replacement.

Ubuntu & clones are seriously lacking in that department, making it reasonable choice only when one lives close enough for " home visit tech support".

Different Linux distro support are listed here https://github.com/open-eid/linux-installer/wiki/Linux-Packages and currently SLE/OpenSUSE is really missing. Still some RPM-based distros are listed. Possibly some RPM-based distro manager could do packages also for SLE/OpenSUSE - you can try to negotiate.
As ID-card software requires Internet connectivity anyway, a distro-agnostic solution could be fully in browser working software. Web eID is already as web browser extension, why not also DigiDoc. Web eID can communicate with smart card readers. Even better solution would be DigiDoc as web application like earlier times was DigiDoc portal, now Dokobit - sold to Lithuanian company... Actually Estonia as a e-country and for e-residents desperately needs a web DigiDoc portal owned by Estonian government (never sold) and web-based DigiDoc software is key pillar of that portal.
Actually, a Flatpak version of DigiDoc is also available, would be interesting to hear, how it works.

Web-eid is not only extensions. Web-eID has also native application counterpart that extension uses.
Browsers do not let have access to physical hardware (smartcard readers and cards).
