Kernel Updates in Tumbleweed, Development Seeks Volunteers
Snapshot updates of openSUSE Tumbleweed were frequent and consistent this week while another development project seeks to get things moving.
A post to developers on the Factory mailing list titled openSUSE ALP: Call for Volunteers aims to gain contributors for rebuilding an openSUSE Leap 15 successor based on a forthcoming commercially available ALP distribution being pioneered by SUSE.

A Fedora Test Week Starts Sunday. Want to Help? Here’s How
The developers at Fedora are in the final stages of integrating Linux kernel 6.3 (just released last week) into Fedora, and they need interested Fedora users to help with some testing if they can. For those that are interested, the project has organized what it calls a “test week,” which will run from Sunday May 7 through Sunday May 14. If you’re a casual user who never works in a command line, this isn’t for you, but if you know your way around Linux — and you’re a Fedora user — this might be a way for you to do some good old-fashioned payback to the devs behind your Linux distribution of choice.

openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/18
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, timing is on our side – and we pushed out 8 snapshots in 7 days. Of course, this could only happen because openQA was so very swift in testing yesterday’s snapshot – it passed the entire QA run in just a bit over 3 hours (314 test runs).
The snapshots published were numbered 0427 through 0504 and they contained these changes:
- openSUSE:Factory is now using suse_version 1699 (unless you need to distinguish it from ALP, keep using > 1500 or >= 1550 as done in the past. No need to use the new version just yet in normal cases
- gnome-shell / mutter 44.1 (late joiners for GNOME 44.1)
- Boost 1.82
- postfix 3.8.0
- Mesa 23.0.3
- Wayland 1.22.0
- Linux kernel 6.3.1
- libvirt 9.3.0
