Comment 7 for bug 1831091

It's a similar situation with openSUSE Tumbleweed when using transactional-server role with desktop environment. It has a read-only root file system too.

I would appreciate a modern distro-integrated way to install software (preferably freedom-respecting) needed for proper operation of hardware i bought from HP.
