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.

Absolute: Independent, irresponsible. An absolute monarchy is one in which
the sovereign does as he pleases so long as he pleases the assassins. Not
many absolute monarchies are left, most of them having been replaced by
limited monarchies, where the sovereign's power for evil (and for good) is
greatly curtailed, and by republics, which are governed by chance.
-- Ambrose Bierce
