I was a bit confused to when I searched for the version. I think I lost 
all Desktop customization when I updated. So I kind of thought that I 
was now running plasma 5 - but was unsure how find out. So I resorted to 
the old way and checked Konqueror "About KDE" I also tried "rpm -qa | 
grep kde" but that did not make it any clearer.

klaus at blob:~> plasmashell --version
plasmashell 5.8.3

By OpenSUSE standards LEAP (this is what I am running) is regarded as 
the stable release whereas Tumbleweed is the rolling release with all 
the new shiny stuff.

Thanks for your observations, I think I might try to give Thumbleweed a 
spin on a senodary mashine.
