   I installed it on the Fedora box and it still works. It comes up more like   
   a file manager than a browser and does see a NFS export on another   
   machine.   
      
   Now I know why the openSUSE iso is so big. It installed K everything but   
   Konqueror. I like KPatience but had to install it separately on Fedora. It   
   has that, as well as KMahjongg, KSoduku, KMines, and KReversi.   
      
   The KDE DE on EndeavourOS (Arch) doesn't even have a Games category. Also   
   openSUSE installed the LibreOffice stuff even though I thought I   
   explicitly told it not to. What it doesn't have is yast although that was   
   one of SUSE's high points for me.   
      
   I'll keep the VM around but I can't see a reason for using Leap rather   
   than other distros with KDE.
