No less than seven snapshots were published for openSUSE Tumbleweed last week, which brought a bunch of goodies for users of GNU/Linux distribution, including the latest KDE Plasma 5.10.3 desktop environment, along with the KDE Frameworks 5.35.0 collection of add-on libraries for Qt, the Linux 4.11.8 kernel, as well as CUPS 2.2.3 and NetworkManager-applet 1.8.2. In more good news, it looks like the openSUSE Tumbleweed developers are working on bringing the recently released Linux 4.12 kernel series to the distribution, along with the latest Qt 5.9.1 application framework, which should add an extra layer of performance improvements to your KDE Plasma desktop and apps. In other words, it looks like openSUSE Tumbleweed could be the first distro powered by Linux 4.12.
