Review: Leaping in a new direction with openSUSE 42.1.We wish you all a terrific week and happy reading! We are also happy to announce this month's donation recipient is TestDisk. In our Opinion Poll we ask how many of our readers are using new display technologies such as Wayland and Mir. In our Torrent Corner we share the distributions we are seeding and then we provide a list of the distributions released last week. Plus we talk about finding a balance between stable releases and rolling release distributions in our Questions and Answers column. We also talk about changes to the Debian live disc project, the launch of Debian-powered Steam gaming consoles and the Libreboot firmware project joining GNU. In the News section we discuss Fedora making Wayland the default display software and work the Ubuntu developers are doing to make the Mir display technology ready for public use.

This week we explore openSUSE 42.1 'Leap' and report on how the project's new version performs. The new openSUSE edition, called Leap, takes the distribution in a new direction where enterprise packages will make up the core of the operating system while community software rounds out the end user experience. In recent months we have been hearing about a new, special version of the openSUSE distribution. Welcome to this year's 46th issue of DistroWatch Weekly!
