Opensuse leap 42.2 available for raspberry pi 3
Table of contents:
For a few weeks now that the Raspberry Pi 3 Soc has official support for the Linux 4.8 Kernel, this means that from now on, no patch is needed for Linux to work on this board, making the task of carrying distributions easier. One of the first to have made the jump is openSUSE Leap.
Raspberry Pi 3 adds another ally
openSUSE Leap 42.2, the latest stable version of this distro comes to Rapsberry Pi 3 in its 64-bit desktop version.
"The most exciting thing about having Leap on Raspberry Pi 3 is that it is a fully AArch64-based image with full 64-bit support, something that not even the Rapsberry Pi Foundation owns, " said Alexander Graf, Software Engineer at SUSE.
The last thing Alexander Graf comments is possible because it does not use the Raspberry Pi Kernel but the original kernel compiled for 64-bit ARM. The downside is that, at the moment, the audio functions for HDMI or the hardware video decoding is not available.
It is expected that more important distros are releasing new versions specially designed for Raspberry Pi 3 in the future.
You can download the openSUSE Leap 42.2 image for Raspberry Pi 3 from the official SUSE page.
