openSUSE Leap 42.2 Beta 3 comes only two weeks after the release of the second Beta build, but it includes a lot of goodies that Tumbleweed users are already enjoying on their personal computers. First of, it ships with the recently released KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS desktop environment, if you’re a fan of the KDE Plasma 5 desktop. Making a rock-solid and stable GNU/Linux distribution doesn’t mean that you have to ship older version of an open source software project just because it was thoroughly tested for many months in real world environments and it doesn’t crash, guaranteed. openSUSE Leap’s design goal is to offer a very stable and reliable OS, but it comes with recent technologies.
