If you haven’t read our openSUSE Leap 42.2 announcement story yet, we’d like to tell you that the operating system introduces numerous up-to-date components, among which we can mention the KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS desktop environment, a kernel from the long-term supported Linux 4.4 series, and many SUSE Enterprise Linux 12 SP2 goodies.
