We’re talking here about the openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots released during the week of October 10, 2016, which brought several interesting software components which might get users of the rolling OS excited. For example, you can now enjoy the latest KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS desktop environment. Moreover, the latest snapshots delivered the recently released LXQt 0.11.0 desktop environment, Mozilla Thunderbird 45.4.0 e-mail and news client, PostgreSQL 9.5 object-relational database, FreeType 2.7 font engine, which made some users happy and angered others, as well as the Linux 4.7.7 kernel.
