Chromium 140 on openSUSE Leap 15.6 through 16 — terminal install via zypper and RPM. De-Googled, uBlock Origin and Ruffle in the core. Run each command separately; enter your password when sudo prompts.
The Step 5 zypper install command lists packages for multiple operating systems in one line. On openSUSE Leap, zypper will skip anything it cannot locate — that is normal. Install everything it can find, then continue to Step 6.
Desktop launcher: Step 7 writes a desktop entry with --no-sandbox on all launch actions — required for Snipe on Leap.
Captured in a VM on openSUSE Leap 16.0 (x86_64) — update check confirms v140.0.7339.127 is current, and our browser detector reports Snipe on Linux 64-bit.
Package file: snipe-browser-140.0.7339.127-1.x86_64.rpm. Work through all seven steps in order. Copy and paste each command block on its own.
