Hi, I am wondering if there is a preferred way to install Skype on openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma V6. I can see that there is a Skype Flatpak available in Discover but it errors right towards the end of installation indication. After asking for root password 3 times during the installation process.
The error message is -> Aborted due to failure (Flatpak system operation Deploy not allowed for user. Is there a procedure required before Flatpaks can be used with openSUSE Tumbleweed? Is this a KDE related bug?

You do not need KDE Discover to install flatpaks and if you insist you can configure it to install in user mode. https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/11ywn34/tumbleweed_kde_discover_a...
One can enable Snaps I guess -> https://snapcraft.io/install/skype/opensuse <- Do you recommend this or not?
This is from the openSUSE Build Service and can you recommend this? https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=skype&project=home%3AX0F%3Abranches%3Anetwork
If I use a binary package is that a better option?
Maybe using Kopete or Pidgin would essentially be better. I would have to read up on them some.
