Sorry for the somewhat rough reception.
However I have to say: you are not giving any information to help you. The way you are righting here is substantially a way to loose your time and the times of others. It also comes over very arrogant, you seem to not have very clear either the technical aspect or the motivational one. Nobody is paid to help you. And these are not "useful idiots" to push around.
If you have already decided to give up, it would be nice to tell people that the threat is closed, so that others coming by do not loose their time. That said:

a) what all need to know: what computer do you actually have. You do not tell this. But it is essential.
What is processor, graphic card (as Nvidia is e.g. an industry responsible for a lot of problems), what is the structure of you discs, how many, what kind, how much ram.
Such information should, case you are lost as you claim, be part of ANY request for help.
To be clear, currently you are calling on the phone the owner of a privately driven garage to say: my car does not start, tell me what is wrong, I actually do not like "your industry". What would a guy answer if you do this?
b) you say: left in sleep mode. I am sorry, but could you explain what you are saying?
Was is left hibernated? Was it left suspend to RAM? Was it shutdown normally and for long time you did "forget about it"?
c) what did you install. When you ask for help on a Windows forum, do you say: I have a problem with Windows. People will say either, call a handy man, or they will ask (if they are smart: what are we talking about). If not, it happened that people explained how to use Windows 10 and the guy answered, no, no, no just to say at the end he was using Windows 98.
So: what Leap did you install. This information should even precede everything together with the following point, to help you.
e) Linux gives you choice. So if you installed openSUSE Version X, you also have to mention! what kind of desktop. If not, how would we know?
KDE, Gnome, XFCE or whatever. But we need to know if you want help. So easy it is.
So instead of tying to "morally pressure" people or try to take them by "pride" or "dedication", why aren't you just kind and precise. Helps a lot.
I am here to at least try to understand you issue, once you give a complete information and once the tone is correct and respectful.
Kind regards.
