Having installed every version since SUSE 5.x, I have given up on Leap 16.0.

The upgrade from 15.6 Leap worked, but I could not log in to the
resulting system. At least the fallback to 15.6 Leap (Upgrade 16.0 to
15.6) gave me a useable system again.
Trying a fresh install of 16.0, it wanted to put everything on my 233GB
SSD. Most of my system is on a 2TB rotating disc, Leap 16.0 did want to
know. In the end I managed to convince it to accept my settings but the system was unuseable - this time I could not use the root password. I
can't remember how I managed the fallback to 15.6 again (this was months
ago) but probably by Upgrading 16.0 to 15.6 again. This time I had to
repair more settings but it went well.

I got involved in a discussion in the German-Language group and it looks
as though my experiences are typical. At least I have a test system, my
main system stayed on 15.6. The processors are AMD Ryzen, "test" is
Ryzen 3 3200G and the "main" is Ryzen 5 4600G. Both support x86-64-v3 instructions.
Both systems are KDE-based.

Has anybody managed to get this to work? Most of the traffic in this NG appears to be Tumbleweed users.

Hi
All good here with Leap 16.0 installs (three bare-metal and a few vm's),
I have done no upgrades or migration as this was never the plan,
migration tools were created after the fact.....

But as you can see I'm a GNOME user (and Hyrpland) and Intel/Nvidia
setups. My on the road laptop is AMD based older CPU/GPU it's running
fine.

It's been over a year now since I did all my installs some update/patch
issues along the way, but no real issues.

Some users had setup issues with Agama installer since it was so
new, likewise a respin of Leap 16.0 was done recently to fix some of
those issues users had.

I'm also using the Agama installer for Tumbleweed installs along with
profiles to do most of the configuration.

Certainly. This laptop was upgraded from 15.6 to 16.0 and worked fine. I tested the procedure in advance on a virtual machine.

As far as I remember, you don't use KDE.
Someone reported similar problems with Fedora and KDE. I'm wondering if
the problem could be there.

Correct, I don't. I use XFCE.

No idea. There are many people using Leap 16 with KDE Plasma or Gnome,
though.

I have 2 boxes on Tumbleweed and 2 boxes on Leap 16.All KDE with no
problems.

When ever I upgrade I always do a complete bare metal rebuild. Then
restore my personal data from backups, when the rebuild is working
properly.

The partitions on my discs are xfs (the critical ones) and ext4.

NVMe disks 1 tb in each of them.

The partitions are BtrFS for tumbleweed and ext4 for the leap partitions

Then I have absolutely no idea what the problem could be.
I have tried multiple approaches over the last 9 (?) months and enough
is enough - Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and
Expecting Different Results (although that would not have applied if
some update had fixed the problem).

You can ask for the exact problem you are having in the user mail list,
or in the web forum. You have to tell details and answer the questions.

If it is a bug, you have to report it officially or it will never be solved.
