Dunno, I have one Leap 15.6 left to upgrade (well fresh install) I have Intel and Nvidia GPU’s (and the laptop AMD which dual boots with Windows 10) working fine…
I’ve had various permutations of RAID, kubernetes with nvidia containers running on Leap 16.0, I’ve pretty much exhausted my hardware pool on various setups… all installed/functioned as expected.
The last one I will be playing around with Agama profiles to see how that goes…
But you’re not exactly what I would call unexperienced… 
@user42 That’s why I’m here, like the other Forum users…
Read, ask questions, take small steps etc…
@user42 another option I used in the past was installing the new version in a new partition, test/configure it to my liking, then when everything worked switched the (always separate) /home partition with my files and finally wiping the old version after a while.
Whether that is feasible for you depends on your disks, having a separate /home (or good backups) etc.
FWIW I see that fresh Leap 16 installs with basic settings work without much trouble.
I actually helped two different people getting Leap 16.0 installed on their own, and they were both stunned that the defaults got them a perfectly fine working install. One with KDE, one with GNOME. My help was only to make sure they had a full backup of their /home. After the stock install they restored the contents of their /home and were back in business. In both cases without Packman. The only experience they had was with installing Windows, both mentioned that the steps were very clear, althoug one admitted that she forgot to select a DE in the Software Selection screen, but already guessed she missed something, so rebooted from the installer again and found her beloved GNOME.
Yes Agama is very different from YaST, and requires a bit of learning for people used to YaST for years. But, from what I see here and on other platforms most new users are fine with Agama, which the Retrospective also showed, actually the (small) majority was pretty positive. IMO it is sad that what we see here and on other platforms are only quoting the negative responses, but I guess that is how it goes.
I have been with OpenSuse for 15+ and I am not a geek but after RedHat it was the best I found and Linux promising that Linux was better than any Windows installation and it was up to Leap 15.6 - I have tried for 10 days to get this Leap 16 to work well and I returned to my Leap 15.6. Very poor experience now with OpenSuse release and I am looking into different distribution as OpenSuse run out of the competition with the latest - it is only for geeks and not the our poor normal users.
@AageJ If you want help, then I would suggest starting a new thread in the Technical section to understand what your having issues with. I see in the past you have had install issues, hopefully your not using the same hardware as back when running earlier releases, eg 13.2->42.1?
I just installed Leap 16 on a friend’s laptop, and the only two problems I’ve noticed in Agama are the following:
It’s not possible to test whether the keyboard layout is correct (in this case, Spanish - Latin American with dead keys). It would be good to include a space for this.
If you leave the default software installation options, a desktop manager is not installed. It would be good to clearly warn about this, or make the option to select KDE, Gnome, or XFCE more visible.
Everything else went quickly and smoothly.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the dev who decided to unselect DE might be the same who find no need for a Cancel button and also designed Storage section. SCNR
@user42 , you are exactly right! I am advanced user with 12 years OpenSUSE experience. When I had installed Leap 16.0 a few weeks ago, which took me two attempts and far too many hours, I intended to write a little guide for newcomers, but then didn’t get round doing that. The installation programme and the instructions are hideous They need somebody who can optimize this. Tech people, apparently, often are unable to do such things.
Even though at the second installation of Leap 16.0 I de-selected SELinux, I still have not managed to give my scanner Samba access to a folder on my harddisk. For mysterious reasons the access is blocked. I have used Samba for many years and can handle it, I thought. Also in another OpenSUSE forum nobody could solve that issue.
So technically Leap 16.0 might be very good, but the instructions and the user friendliness is horriible.
I tried to find the topic in question - can you point to it?
Ok thanks. I thought you meant the openSUSE Forums. Post here if you want to cast the support net wider.
I have receive from fsfe.org and their work, donated Eur 60. Suggest that all the concerns about Leap16 is to sending it upwards. I’m award of:
[https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/EO2OUQTS3KZ27SFPA7IQUHBNLQTMJBPB/](https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/
project@lists.opensuse.org/thread/EO2OUQTS3KZ27SFPA7IQUHBNLQTMJBPB/)
I will write something after my birtday(60) on the mailinglist.

That is the origin aim of my post(s) too.
I really wish some of the (mostly senior) posters would understand
that denying problems often harms more than constructive critic/ feedback.
@user42 this is open chat, nothing will change if users don’t create issues in the appropriate development project to ask if features can be changed/added etc…
I’m sure PR’s would be even better…
Hmm…
I suspect you’re pointing to something important.
I could well imagine that many “simple users” (as I am),
if a SW behaviour is too “obiously bad” for them,
bring it up to some forum, hoping it might be handed/ handled
some way further.
But furthermore trying
will mostly be too much to expect.
Not to talk about them suggesting a PR.
If you insist on the that… many valuable feedback
will be lost - in reality, I’m afraid.
It might be an idea (for the experienced ones) to at least
assist by pointing to the specific address;
if not to file the issue “as proxy” in that cases.
Right, asking users to file bug reports or make suggestions in the places that the developers will be sure to see them is asking too much.
Got it.
I’ll be sure to pass that valuable feedback along.
@user42 I’ve posted this a number of times, we have a documentation link in the forum side panel?
It seems to me there are a lot of folks that just don’t read what the installer is saying, or explore the options available in the installer 
You read my very first post, don’t you?
