If you are looking to install openSUSE, there are more details in [[obtaining openSUSE Leap 15.5]].

== Changes to openSUSE ==

Starting with Leap 42.1, work commenced to align openSUSE Leap's code using SUSE Enterprise Linux as the base code. This [https://www.suse.com/c/closing-the-leap-gap-src/ Closing the Leap Gap] project has finally taken shape in openSUSE 15.3 with this release using SUSE Linux Enterprise packages where possible. You will notice this with the additional update repositories that are added in this release. This will allow stable releases to be built based on the rock solid reliability of SUSE Linux Enterprise.

Releases are now in line with SUSE Enterprise Linux, with openSUSE 15.4, openSUSE 15.5 and openSUSE 15.6 now expected to align with the SUSE Enterprise Linux releases instead of the anticipated jump to openSUSE 16.0 as would have happened before.

32-bit versions are no longer available, only 64-bit (x86_64) now. SUSE Enterprise Linux has not supported 32-bit for a long time and being more in line with SUSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE now shares this trait. Most modern CPU's now support 64-bit (Intel Pentium 4's with the Prescott 2M core from 2005 onwards support x86_64). The rolling release, [[openSUSE Tumbleweed]] still supports 32-bit versions if needed.

== Installation notes/Known Issues ==

Due to the Closing the Leap Gap Project, there have been some major changes within the system that have presented issues while installing this version.

* If upgrading, check the "Unneeded Packages" category in YaST once upgraded to remove any lingering unneeded packages from the previous version.
* MariaDB now uses system authentication for the root user - just login as root then type <code>mariadb</code>. You will be logged in automatically. This differs from before where the root password needed setting before you could use it.
* To enable TLS in Apache, the following flags need adding to <code>sysconfig</code>. Edit <code>/etc/sysconfig/apache2</code> and edit this line:<br>
APACHE_SERVER_FLAGS="SSL HTTP2"
* YaST does not prompt for a root user password for Samba as previous versions did. This can be set up manually with <code>smbpasswd -a root</code>.
