I think most people use the live iso for testing and installing
openSUSE, default to non persistent system is much better, it will be
faster, and verifiable every time (media-check will work the second
you boot, not like the current situation).

Laggy live system (because it is r/w) is a show killer for new users
trying openSUSE.

If persistence is important, it can be added as another, non-default,
grub option.
