I'm not aware of any release-distro that ships with all dev deps, or a '1-click' solution. If your 'expectation' is hard, feel free to ignore; if it can bend, the following is straightforward: DL the latest Opensuse Tumbleweed (TW) installation-media .iso here, https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed or, directly (atm, most recent snapshot ...) https://provo-mirror.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20190307-Media.iso 'Boot' to installer & graphically-install OpenSUSE TW to VM of choice (VirtualBox6 works nicely) (docs: https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/startup/single-html/book.opensuse.startup/index.html) Once booted, @ shell (1) zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard Kernel_stable (2) zypper in kernel-default kernel-default-devel kernel-source-devel (3) zypper in -d postfix (these steps _can_ be effectively done from within the installer UI; your choice) If you need a 'zypper' cheat-sheet, https://en.opensuse.org/images/1/17/Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf note: TW will imminently upgrade to kernel v5, as soon as it passes openQA (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/681405). At that point, step (1) will no longer be necessary Reboot VM. That should do it (assuming the postfix package spec's requirements are complete).
