I looked at this. But having all the packages available as RPMS
managed by zypper is a handy thing.

I have ideas how to do it. I already do this type of thing with a
number of other pieces of hardware. What I was exploring was if there
was something I had missed for ARM and openSUSE. Like maybe there was
a build like the Windows build that puts everything in a separate tree
and all packages are noarch. One never knows what one may find
somewhere on OBS.

I suspect I will go the real hardware routs and just keep a Raspberry
PI 3 on the local network. It is already working fine.
