OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 released

Ran an update yesterday during a video conference (on another machine!) on a heavily customized audio production machine. Went very smoothly, everything seems to work. Only downside is that the machine seemingly locked up for 10 minutes today - on closer look, it turned out that brtfs was doing some large-scale housekeeping... now back to normal.

Grew increasingly tired of 15.1 as it was ageing. I "downgraded" to it from Tumbleweed after the latter had exploded in my face once too often, but since I'm building much of my business software from source, it's nice to have a really recent system.

All in all, a very happy SUSE user here since 1998, although I hope they will be accelerating their release schedule again after the re-syncing with SLES. Kudos to all contributors!

I find the snapshot stability checks very informative to see when it makes sense to update or to what date (with tumbleweed the command):

Otherwise it feels almost like running Factory.
