On my new HP 15s-eq2147, because of the lack of an ethernet connection, installing Leap 15.3 from openSUSE-Leap-15.3-NET-x86_64.iso was impossible. So, I had to use openSUSE-Leap-15.3-DVD-x86_64.iso, which does not use internet repositories.
Installing was easy and much faster than from the net, but at the end, KDE did not appear. Pressing F7 shows a black screen only.
Then I tried "startx", but in vain. I have stored the output on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/startx.txt
and the content of ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log on http://ariannuccia.de/temp/Xorg.0.log.

This is AMD Renoir. As far as I know /some/ support for it is present since kernel 5.11. It is not listed as supported device by Leap 15.3 kernel.
Actually this specific device is first listed as supported in kernel 5.12.
You will get non-accelerated framebuffer GUI using nomodeset kernel parameter. You may try kernel from Kernel:stable:Backport (which is currently on 5.13.1). It should support your WiFi and it /may/ support your graphic card.
But if you have such problems getting Linux running on this notebook, you should really consider returning it and getting something more Linux friendly.
Please have a look at these two files. Do they contain information for correcting the KDE implementation?
Meanwhile I have access to the internet, thanks to Stephan Hemeier's rtw88-kmp-default-git20210702_k5.3.18_57-lp153.2.2.x86_64.rpm, but I don't know which package to install for making KDE run.
Thanks in advance, Wolfgang
