It seemed to be OK, when I first installed 15.1, but something changed afterwards, but I have no idea what. The only thing I've installed that didn't come from the 15.1 distro was Amarok, which was installed with one click install.
Ah, one click! To me, one click is suspicious.
why so???
Because it frequently results in a TW repo being added to a Leap installation, followed up by a partial unintended upgrade to TW, followed by a mailing list or forum thread plea for help. e.g. <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/536096-Applied-recommended-updates-Now-can-only-reboot-into-command-line-mode?p=2903944#post2903944>
it is iiuc an openSUSE facilitation to easily install an application from a search at software.opensuse.org/search using firefox.
It's painfully easy to add a wrong repo that stays enabled through a subsequent updates round that in turn causes partial upgrades, and an inconsistent (broken) OS installation. openSUSE needs someone with the authority, talent and interest to fix 1-click so that this trouble is much less frequent, or disappears altogether. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
