So stop just asking for something impossible. Do your homework. *Work out why*.
Isolate what works, what driver, what kernel, whatever. And isolate what does *not* work in Leap.
This is a funny suggestion, especially if you do not know if the customer/user is a developer or not.
In most cases with new hardware we know two facts:
1. it works with rolling release distributions 2. it does not work at all nor not stable with Leap
How should a regular user find the driver, package, kernel release, patch etc. which causes e.g. stability problems?
Right, and this should be the duty of the hardware manufacturer to deliver proper drivers. You cant blame a community for getting information late (or never, and has to rely on reverse engineering). As long as hardware is bundled with Windows (or macOS) it will always be an issue for free software like GNU/Linux or FreeBSD. The problem are the hardware manufacturers, who are in bed with M$, and not a Linux Distribution, But this is a problem we'll not solve in this list.
