14 DAY TRIAL // The openSUSE Leap 15 operating system was officially launched today, and if you're in the market for a new Linux laptop, the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 13 comes preloaded with openSUSE Leap 15.
The OpenSuSE Project announced today that openSUSE Leap 15 is available for download as 64-bit installation images, which users would need to write on USB flash drives or DVDs to install the operating system on their personal computers. However, the openSUSE Leap 15 operating system also comes preloaded with the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 13 laptop we reviewed last year and Linode cloud images.
"Today’s public release of Leap 15 aren’t only released as DVD and Network ISO: Linode and hardware vendor TUXEDO Computers have cloud images through of Leap ready, too. While the brand new TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 13 is immediately available with Leap 15 preinstalled and ready-to-run, Linode has Leap available for all infrastructure needs," said openSUSE Project's Douglas DeMaio in today's announcement.
More hardware vendors will support openSUSE Leap 15
The openSUSE Project said that while their partnership with TUXEDO Computers made the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 13 the first laptop to come preloaded with openSUSE Leap 15, more hardware vendors will support the recently released operating system on their existing or upcoming computers, either pre-installed or deployable. There will also be more openSUSE Leap 15 cloud images available in the coming weeks.
openSUSE Leap 15 is based on the upcoming SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 15 operating system series and comes with the Linux 4.12 kernel, KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS desktop environment, and various updated components and newer GNU/Linux technologies. One of the coolest new features is the ability to migrate openSUSE Leap 15 installations to SUSE Linux Enterprise for extended long-term support, certifications, and mass deployments.
