The beta release of the openSUSE Leap 15.3 distribution has been published, based on the base set of packages of the SUSE Linux Enterprise distribution with some custom applications from the openSUSE Tumbleweed repository. A universal DVD assembly is available for download, 4.3 GB in size (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64les, 390x). openSUSE Leap 15.3 is expected to be released in July 2021.
Unlike past releases of openSUSE Leap, version 15.3 is not built by rebuilding SUSE Linux Enterprise src packages, but by using the same set of binary packages as SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP 3. It is expected that the use of the same binary packages in SUSE and openSUSE will simplify migration from one distribution to another, save resources for building packages, distributing updates and testing, unify differences in spec files, and allow you to move away from diagnosing different package builds when parsing messages. about mistakes. The Xfce desktop has been updated to the 4.16 branch.
