That's fine, the current TDE repository seems to work well enough with Leap 15.4. Hopefully François will publish on the announcement list when he has finished his build. It appears that only the stable version is made available to non-Debian-based users; I understand that builds for other versions would be labour-intensive, but sometimes it would be nice... > > FWIW, I've never put /opt on its own filesystem, but /usr/local I always > have separate.

For sure, expecially since OpenSuSE is so often far behind current versions of many packages (notably fonts), I often install them from their native repos into /usr/local. Some that contain extensive file trees, like mozilla, I do put into /opt; but that's just my personal idiosyncracy.
