compat-usrmerge-tools want to unmount /usr/lib/wsl/drivers I got no idea about that error.
Im running opensuse leap on wsl

Linux C6MM6Q2 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 #1 SMP Thu Oct 5 21:02:42 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Thank you

Do not do it. You will trash your Leap installation.

Do not use Factory repos with Leap.
You can install eza in TW from openSUSE repos or use community repo for Leap:
