   I am on my third update and the only issue I have had is a Nvidia one   
   and adding the Nvidia driver from their repo fixed the issue. The screen   
   used to flicker on boot up which is does not now. To be fair it did on   
   leap 15.1 as well, not really a serious problem just to lazy to fix it   
   before.   
      
   All devices are using the latest KDE desktop.   
      
   I have a Tuxedo i9 desktop with an nvidia GeForce GT 1030   
   A thinkpad i7 (T410) ,10 years old at least   
   Intel NUC i5 which is 8 years old   
      
   All of the above worked without issue but I did format the / disk or   
   /partition every time.   
      
      
   It does mean adding none standard software manually but as the above   
   devices are all 64 bit I just saved the rpm's and used them on the other   
   devices.   
      
   Just my wife's T410 laptop to go when I am allowed to do it.
