I installed it on the Fedora box and it still works. It comes up more like 
a file manager than a browser and does see a NFS export on another 
machine. 

Now I know why the openSUSE iso is so big. It installed K everything but 
Konqueror. I like KPatience but had to install it separately on Fedora. It 
has that, as well as KMahjongg, KSoduku, KMines, and KReversi. 

The KDE DE on EndeavourOS (Arch) doesn't even have a Games category. Also 
openSUSE installed the LibreOffice stuff even though I thought I 
explicitly told it not to. What it doesn't have is yast although that was 
one of SUSE's high points for me.

I'll keep the VM around but I can't see a reason for using Leap rather 
than other distros with KDE.
