Okay. I'm now looking at a desktop, at around 10G. It was installed Nov 30, 2016 (I'm going by the date of "/lost+found". It was installed originally as snapshot 20161128 (I'm going by the name of the repo that was the install media).
This one is at near 10G. It has KDE, Gnome, MATE, XFCE and LXQt desktops installed.
"/home" is part of "/", but is small. It mainly has symlinks to my real home partition mounted at "/xhome". I do that to avoid fights between Tumbleweed and Leap for desktop settings.
From "/usr"

I do not have kernel sources installed. That might be significant.
I think you might be seeing the effect of Parkinson's law for software bloat -- "Software expands to consume all available disk space".
On my system with ext4 partitions. /home and /var have their own partitions: finger@linux-cj1t:~/rtlwifi_sync> sudo du -d 1 -x / [sudo] password for root: 2352 /bin 28428 /etc 2111172 /lib 16 /lost+found 1388 /srv 13576 /lib64 7710532 /usr 4 /opt 4 /mnt 4 /selinux 331484 /boot 8724 /sbin 1316 /tmp 10720 /root 10219724 / The only desktop installed is KDE, and 3 kernels are installed. When I first did the du command, my usage was 11.7 GB. The difference is that /lib/modules had entries for 3 kernels that had been deleted from /boot. That is a place to check.
