Hm, I use Leap every day on my workhorse (ThinkPad T520), but did not come 
around any of the issues you mentioned so far. But there are others that make 
life uneasy (e.g. multi-monitor presentations...), but no showstoppers so far.

Many of the updates relate to KDE, so not really something you take care about 
on a test-only server....

I feel the community is in a difficult position here: The commitment is to 
support 13.1 long-term, which is, by the way, a solid release as well. On the 
other hand, 13.2 is the last 32bit release, which brings it into a special 
position.

Personally I'm happy with using 13.1 on older hardware, but under the above 
light, maybe it is worth to discuss this again?

Best regards
Axel
