Noob here. I want to scan all my firewall ports

I’m a security noob. I’m using an AMD Ryzen laptop → Linux → Tumbleweed → Gnome → Wayland. I want to scan all my 65k firewall ports. Open, Closed or Stealthed. I prefer to do this with with a simple GUI tool that runs in Linux Tumbleweed so a Flatpak or Snap or Tumbleweed compatible app is good. What port scanner app you recommend that meets my requirements? Hopefully one that’s noob friendly.

I did a google search but didn’t find any clear choices.

Do deb files run in Tumbleweed?

I used to use ShieldsUp when I was on Windows, but I’m strictly Linux now.

The most commonly used port scanner on linux is nmap. nmap is a command line application, but there is a GUI called zenmap.

Deb files don’t run on tumbleweed, open suse uses the rpm packaging format. zenmap should have rpms. I’m not an opensuse user, so I’m not sure if nmap or zenmap are available through the open suse repos. There should be rpms available on nmaps website though.

Cool. I installed nmap and I’m now researching it. Thx.
