But this brings me the the point: is this related to the "issue" at hand? As in, if the guy from my story had tried to make a Leap Live USB key, downloading Leap from this page:
https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/leap
and writing it with that Rufus thing, that would have probably failed in the very same way. Wouldn't it?
Just do a search for the "Windows" word in that page and you see the link with explanations on how to create the USB stick from Windows :- )
But even on the 'Installation' tab, you have to actively search for Windows or scroll all the way down past the actual links you're interested in before you even see 'Documentation' let alone the hint that there's even something to read about Windows, let alone any suggestion that you NEED to read it because what you already think you know won't work. Compare against the pages provided by the other distros. It's another case where some 'style monster' has designed the page - the top half of the window is basically solid green on my display. What a waste of space.
Just click on the "Live" tab, and do the same.
Ah, live tab, you did not say that.
"How to create a Bootable USB stick on Windows."
Even if I read that page, before I get to the interesting bit, I see: "Version: 12.2+ This applies to openSUSE 12.2 and above. "Warning: While these instructions might work for others distributions, it's recommended to check the desired distribution's own wiki to avoid any problem." So at that point I'm thinking, I need to find the 15.2 wiki before I do anything else and check what it says. Now how do I do that? So I end up at https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:15.2 and it says nothing about Windows. So I look for installation, and it sends me to https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Installation which sends me back to the original Leap page or to https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick (note the subtly different address) and that eventually sends me to the Bootable USB Windows page, all without reassuring me that the procedure will work on 15.2.
0/0 results. :-P
Gotcha. :-)
