@opensuse #Tumbleweed
Review of the week 2026/13

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

After a high-speed run, we hit a wall this week: only two snapshots (0324 and 0326) reached the mirrors. The culprit was a combination of bad timing and a necessary course correction regarding our bootloader defaults.

It is now clear that the previous move to grub2-bls was a mistake. *** We spent Monday and Tuesday ironing out the resulting kinks, which cost us the weekend snapshots.

While the change to systemd-boot is a significant highlight for fresh installations, it was just one of many updates that landed this week:

* systemd-boot: Now the default for fresh installations (upgraders remain on their existing bootloader).
* AppArmor 4.1.7
* KDE Plasma 6.6.3
* ffmpeg 8.1
* FreeRDP 3.24.1
* gettext 1.0
* Linux kernel 6.19.9
* qemu 10.2.2
* SQLite 3.51.3

The package maintainers and release engineers are busy preparing the next few changes for the upcoming days. These include:
* GNOME 50: matplotlib’s test suite needs to accept deprecations in glib 2.88.0
* Autoconf 2.73
* Linux kernel 6.19.10
* Qt 6.11.0
* Mozilla Firefox 149.0
* GCC 16 as the default distro compiler
* LLVM 22
* glibc 2.43: metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257250

Cheers,
Dominique Leuenberger

And by the way, I decided to give OpenSUSE Tumbleweed another try today. Since Debian has its little quirks with my keyboards and I don’t want to use a distribution with a U.S. background like Fedora, OpenSUSE would be the politically correct choice for me as a European solution.

Liegt es an #Leap, oder an mir?

Wer mich kennt, der weiß das ich viel und gerne #openSUSE #Tumbleweed benutze. Nun habe ich als Hauptsystem ein Rechner mit vorinstallierten Leap ergattert und stoße immer wieder auf Probleme, die müsselig per Terminal aus dem Weg geschaffen werden müssen. Soviel gebastel war ich unter #Tumbleweed nicht gewohnt. Kleinste Änderungen an der Firewall, dem CUP-Server, der Repository-Liste usw.
