openSUSE Leap 42.2 (64-bit Install)

On this DVD you'll find the second version of the Leap 42 series, which shares its codebase with SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (Service Pack 2). Well tested and highly stable, Leap 42.2 installs with either the KDE Plasma or Gnome desktop and comes with a back-ported Data Plane Development Kit and Open vSwitch. Xen is now supported by default in the kernel. Leap 42.2 receives packages, maintenance, and bug fixes from the openSUSE community and SUSE engineers. Starting from version 42.1, the series comes with a minimum of 36 months of maintenance and security updates.

Gnome is the default environment for Fedora Workstation, and the newest version features Gnome 3.22. You'll find multifile renaming and integrated compressed file capabilities in the Files app, a redesigned keyboard settings tool, a new landing page and easier category browsing in the Software app, and variable-speed playback in the Videos app. Also in Fedora 25 Workstation:

  • Wayland display server
  • Fedora Media Writer
