Thus the laptop inherited YaST. fwiw I did a bare metal install of Leap 16 KDE/Plasma and only got Myrlyn. It was an interesting Sunday. I had applied updates to the Endeavour box and got kernel 7.0.5. I don't know if that was the only problem but the box wouldn't boot. Screwed around with a live thumbdrive, chrood, installed earlier kernel, did the dracut stuff. No joy. By then I was pissed, didn't have too much to lose and decided to install Leap 16 since I had the offline iso. Copied it to the Ventory stick and gave it several tries. Spoiler alert: OpenSUSE does not work with Ventoy. Created a straight thumb drive on Ubuntu. No joy. Found I had to enable UEFI. That got me further. Forgot configuration is a bit obscure with SUSE. Screwed up and got a tty install, no DE. Try again after checking the KDE box. The installation threw some errors about checksums and said if I continued it might not boot. I did and it didn't. Try again with Xfce. Got a screen split between the laptop and it wouldn't let me log in. Try again with KDE. It bitched about a qt5 library but installed and rebooted. It seems to be working although where stuff winds up on either the laptop or the external monitor is a bit weird. The mouse cursor leads me to believe it's treating them as one big screen. It's systemd/x11 so I can piss both camps off.
