The only small inconvenience is, that the KDE repositories in the Open Build Service have to be updated by means of “zypper dup” – with at least the “–allow-vendor-change” option.
- I’m currently also using the “–allow-name-change” option.
AFAIK, deano_ferrari is also running Leap 16.0 with KDE Plasma with this configuration.
