Note the begin/end blocks. The partitions where not created in order or the order was changed. No big problem though the disk order is not really important for the operation of the OS.
The ownership is defined in the /etc/fstab file and also by the ownership of the mount point.
You can only resize partitions from the end. So you have to figure the sequence of resize and moving. Also any partition must represent a continues set of blocks, no holes allowed and to resize there must be unused space to move the end into. Note also that some file system do not like being reduced in size. XFS in particular
So it is not just a matter of editing fstab to change the last column from a 1 to a 2 for those two partitions? I must also do something with the mount points?
(yes, I read the man pages and an opensuse info page for fstab) (but not for mount points)
Easy enough to change in YaST partitioner to EXT4 if they are XFS.
Those terminating integers have nothing to do with permissions or accessibility. /home should be 1 2 for EXT4, for XFS I don’t know, since I’ve never used it.

You can change the type, but not without losing all its data. Losing the data on a recent installation with little or no saved personal data shouldn’t be much trouble. On root login you can recreate fresh basics with mkdir and copying the content from /etc/skel/ into the freshly recreated directory, then using chown -R on it.
I will read the man for ‘mount’. Always up for learning.
But it is still sounding easier to take the ‘cowards’ way out and remove Leap entirely and reinstall with Xfce and add other apps from the repos I want. I still have a lot of dross left over from when I was trying to get the hybrid graphics to work.
