Hi All
So Leap 16.0 has been out one month, it was a rocky start with the new installer but have the following systems all setup and being used.

System one:

Primary use is a desktop setup with GNOME and is used daily, Primary graphics is the Nvidia GPU with the Intel GPU running as a Display Controller.

System two;

Primary use is dual boot with Windows 11 Pro, more of a test system to see how dual boot goes, no issues, but watch out on the Installer Storage page as it wanted to delete the windows install, had to ensure I checked the do not modify option!

System three;

Primary use is for K3s and Nvidia Compute, not much to say, it works

System four;

This will at some point become a file server using iSCSI. This is still W.i.P. as testing out storage options…
Leap 16.0 is installed on;
/dev/md126p1[/]: RAID1 using mdadm (software RAID) on two (2) 128GB NVMe’s in two dual SSD/NVMe PCIe X4 card.
The storage setup is;
/dev/md125[/stuff]: RAID 5 using the onboard Intel RSTe/VROC controller with three (3) 128GB M.2 SSD’s in two dual SSD/NVMe PCIe X4 cards and a PCIe X1 M.2 SSD card.
/dev/sdd[/data]: RAID 50 using part of the MR9440-8i controller, two spans with three (3) 500GB SATA disks in each span.
/dev/sde[/extra]: RAID 0 using part of the MR9440-8i controller with two (2) 4TB SATA drives.
I would like to ultimately put in some SAS (12Gb/s) drives for storage, probably three in RAID 5.

Hello. Nice collection of PCs with Leap. I tried using Leap 16 on this dinosaur that my company gave me, but I always go back to Tumbleweed. I couldn’t install extensions in Gnome on Leap, so I went back to Tumbleweed, praying that my old radeon driver would still support Wayland
Best regards

Although the transition to GNOME 49 and later Kernel 6.17 was rather rocky, things are stabilizing now that a fix for my graphics card is on the way, and I’m currently running my own patched kernel.

I’ve been running SuSE / openSUSE since 8, but this new installer has not worked on any of my 5 HP laptops. I GIVE UP on 16 and will keep Tumbling.

@jonzn4suse you need to add nomodeset to the boot options…

Opensuse Tumbleweed, KDE, so easy to be so beautiful…
