But one must understand than Leap 42.1 is a *stable* Long time life version, so using more modern hardware may be a bit harder, as it is for Debian Weezy
I don't have it clear in what sense 42.1 is an LTS, because it seems that we have to upgrade to 42.2. 42.1 is mantained for 2 years only, I understand.
There is a little missunderstanding going on. Leap 42.1 is based on SLE 12 SP1, and Leap 42.2 will be based on SLE12 SP2.
Yes, I know. About ⅓ is taken from SLES, the rest comes from tumbleweed.
The keyword here is "based" not identical. Leap is based on SLE which in turn is LTS.
Ah. So ⅓ is an LTS, the rest is not :-)
Tumbleweed gets every kernel-release. Leap gets the LTS kernel of the year.
Well, there was some recent talk about which kernel to use. Was it finally decided to use the kernel from SLE 12 SP2?
So, if your Hardware is based on a CPU / chipset that is less than a year old, there can be trouble with Leap, such "new / fresh" Hardware is a case for Tumbleweed, at least until the next Leap release.
I know.
Here, in this case, I'd suggest either 13.2 (which is NOT Evergreen), or Tumbleweed the get the box up and running to satisfaction, at least until the next Leap release (in November, AFAICT)
Yes, I know that was the suggestion. Which will push out a percent of users. I suggested an alternate non fully suported kernel from a more recent branch for those people. I don't have the skills to do such a thing myself, except take a KOD and build locally, for me only. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
