I got that done and then found that the Ubuntu flavour of TDE names some of its components differently than the OpenSuSE flavour: Ubuntu TDM calls itself 'Trinity' in the desktop selector, whereas on OpenSuSE it's 'TDE', so when booting back and forth and logging in I have to remember to set that each time; when I rebooted into OpenSuSE many of the standard applets in the main panel disappeared and I had to figure out how to get TDE Menu back and remember the names of the others; then I found that Firefox is implemented as a snap package in Ubuntu, and apparently must be installed on each user account on the machine (what a waste!), but so far I haven't figured out how to find packages in Ubuntu, and searching the web, I only find stuff about GUI package managers that don't seem to be installed... I guess I'll just install Leap 15.4 next week when it's gone GA; I was hoping to be able to get access to the pre-GA versions of TDE, but I guess that's not in the cards...
