openSUSE Leap 42.2 has been in development for the past six months, during which it received three Alphas and three Betas, as well as two Release Candidate (RC) builds. openSUSE Leap 42.2 RC2 is the last step before the GNU/Linux distribution hits the streets in approximately two weeks from today, on November 16, 2016. Based on some the packages from the SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 12 Service Pack (SP) 2 operating system, openSUSE Leap 42.2 Release Candidate 2 is here to polish the upcoming OS by splitting the Mesa 3D Nouveau driver into a separate package to address nasty crashes with various Nvidia GPUs on the KDE Plasma 5 desktop.
