openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling-release version of the famous openSUSE Linux operating system, where all the latest Linux technologies are being deployed but declared stable enough to be used on a daily basis on production machines. KDE Plasma 5.3 now replaces the old KDE4 desktop in the Tumbleweed edition of openSUSE. In addition to the KDE Plasma 5.3 and KDE Applications 15.04.1 updates, the latest openSUSE Tumbleweed now includes KDE Workspaces 4.11.18.
