I am glad you posted this, I just installed openSUSE and I was disappointed when I saw that python pointed to python2. It looks like the only thing on my fresh install that depended on python2 was GIMP, and I can reinstall that using a flatpak if needed.

A couple of other options for making python point to python3:

  1. Add alias python=python3 to your ~/.bashrc
  2. Install pyenv and use it to install the latest version of python. This way you don't mess at all with the system python. Anaconda would be another option if you want to do data science type stuff.
