Thank you Malcolm. Pls note my blurb in my earlier reply to tsu2, for
context. If that’s the necessary program / package installation
paradigm, then i suspect more & more that i made an error of judgement
in coming to Tumbleweed, or maybe even openSUSE overall. I just don’t
think i’m good enough to make the cut. It’s a pity, because TW KDE has
given me THE -very best- Plasma experience i’ve ever had, of -any-
distro i’ve used or even just tried since late 2013. However, the
management & maintenance of TW re repos & package installation looks
like being beyond my capability / desire.
Hi
Well OBS can be daunting with it’s package availability 
Also your end
use, do you really need the latest and greatest to do what your
wanting (features)? To many it’s not just the desktop but the packages
to do the tasks your wanting and compromises may be required.
Why not look at Leap then?
