Fourth: Please, do yourself and all of us a favour and read the release notes before trying to install, there are some gotchas.
I do not want to be rude, but I was not asking for a lecture. It's not my first rodeo...
I was asking for experiences, especially in regard to the gotchas you mention. Those that the release notes might not mention.
I know I could go 13.1->13.2->Leap, but that would mean twice the trouble. And if others have tested already and had no trouble, I would take the risk. And clean up the mess, if it does not work.
No offence meant.
Non taken.
Background is just sad: In the last fifteen years, most people that had tried such a two-gen upgrade (not a fresh install) without a full warning prior where not willing to think ahead for such a upgrade.
No backups, or leave backup mounted during upgrade (and select format...). All, what is called "taunting Murphy", I've either heard about, or have been called to fix afterwards.
So, a shout out to be carefull is not meant to be a downer, but more of a "take care and have fun without regets".
In this special case (13.1 to Leap 42.1) there are more gotchas than 11.4 to 12.2 for example. Wickedd (network) is just a part of that, but the, in the glance odd, mix of SLE and OSS is a very fresh thing and still has some rough edges left.
And the state of KDE is so-so -- better than the step from KDE3 to KDE4, but still not fully done.
And the DM stuff... if you need samba/AD, KDM4 is your friend.
As I've said, gotchas. Known beforehand, spares one hours of frustation, and that makes a better weekend.
Nice evenening, - Yamaban. Oh yeah. Been there done that. I learned the hard way. There is an upside because the user learns so much about their system.
