By following a rolling release model, the openSUSE Tumbleweed operating system always receives the latest package versions and GNU/Linux technologies, and, to be honest, we had no idea that it doesn’t fully support that newest Flatpak releases. That’s why the openSUSE engineers managed to implement a new framework to bring you Flatpak 0.6.13. Announced last week right here in this space, Flatpak 0.6.13 appeared to be a major update of the universal Linux binary format that introduced numerous new features for desktop users. Apart from that, openSUSE Tumbleweed users will enjoy OSTree 2016.12, which features a layer for deploying bootable filesystem trees and managing bootloader configuration.
