Installing KDE 3

Easiest way to install KDE3 on any openSUSE version is to use 1-click install:

For openSUSE Leap 15.6:

For openSUSE Leap 15.5:

For openSUSE Leap 15.4:

For openSUSE Tumbleweed:

To manually install the KDE3 desktop, you will need to install kdebase3-session package - plus any of the package families that you would like (e.g. kdegames, kdegraphics etc).

To choose kdm3 as the default session manager one needs to install it (kdebase3-kdm) and then write DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm3" line to the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager (this can be done with the Yast module etc/sysconfig tool Editor as well).
