    Like sudo requiring you to use the root password?

    Isn’t one of the principal reasons sudo exists is so you DONT need to know or use the root password to perform root-level tasks?

    It’s an idiotic choice on OpenSUSE’s part IMO.

      As far as I remember, sudo ask for the user password, not the root one.

      It is “su -c [some_command]” that ask for the root password.

        Of course you can. My point is, it’s a ridiculous decision on OpenSUSE’s part to ship it this way in the first place.
