Mostly Better: New C7
Well, I gave up, and reinstalled C7. This time, I realized I needed to make a software choice before the install, and did so.
My install, yesterday, was a minimal. Silly me, yesterday, after that, I
did a groupinstall of KDE Plasma Workspaces… and it did *NOT* include all the dependencies to run KDE.
Having installed a KDE desktop, much is better… with one exception: I
can’t seem to find any games. I tried yum groupinstall “Games and Entertainment”, which showed when I did group list… and was told it was empty.
Now what am I missing? I do have epel and rpmfusion, both free and non-free.

I don’t think there are any.
I have Gnome Chess (and gnuchess), rogue, e-uae, stella and vice installed on my computer but I compiled the rpms myself.
KDE in EL7 is a bare minimum. I was replacing it with:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/rdieter/kde4/epel-7-x86_64/ but it hasn’t had any updates since 2018 I think.
complete, once I find hpijs for my cute (but old) HP laserjet 1018, and working on that.

…
The more business oriented nature of CentOS/RHEL
compared to Fedora etc.
$ dnf search game
gives 65 lines of output on C7 (incld epel & rpmfusion)
but 630+ lines on Fedora.
