Preferred way to install Skype on Tumbleweed?
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? Suse Paste of error screen is -> https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/e61f6369fade 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. -Thanks

I use this official repo. It works well on TW. I have KDE and pipewire. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

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?

Maybe using Kopete or Pidgin would essentially be better. I would have to read up on them some.
