Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will openSUSE Leap work with newer computers?

Yes - openSUSE Leap 15.6, shipped with version 6.4 of the Linux Kernel, which provides very modern hardware support and graphics drivers were backported from newer Linux Kernels.

Q. Will openSUSE Leap work with older computers?

Maybe - openSUSE Leap will be built for 64-bit architectures only, and hence will not run on older hardware without 64-bit support. If you still need 32-bit support, use Tumbleweed.

Please refer to the hardware requirements section.

Q. Why does it have a bit of an old kernel?

6.4 is not that old, but see here for the explanation: Why is the kernel used by Leap so old?

Q. Where can I find more information about the Closing The Leap Gap proposal?

Most of the information can be found in Closing the Leap GAP FAQ
