Hey guys, I’ve been a long time casual Linux user for 5+ years and have used OpenSUSE a few times throughout, but always going back to Fedora. I must say, i’m extremely pleased with the quality of Leap 42, practically none of the issues I’ve had with previous iterations of the distro exist (minus the Plasma 5 screen tearing I always encounter lately that I have yet to fix since formatting). Wanted to let you all know keep up the good work, and I finally think I won’t be distro hopping for some time!
I installed Leap as soon as it was released and I have noticed that successive updates have significantly improved the stability of Plasma so that it is now as stable as other desktops.
I’ve noticed the same as well, as soon as I got the Plasma flickering fixed I was even more sold on this release.
Would you tell how? I’m not using Leap yet, but will soon. Do you use proprietary video drivers?
Thanks

Either that or installing the latest kernel (4.3.3?) should do the
trick. I’ve been running on TW using nouveau for up to 24 hours without
a hitch but haven’t been able to test further than that because of
the other Plasma bugs.

Ah, I see. I usually have nvidia blob, and there’s always some tearing during video playback (smplayer, mpv), although less if on fullscreen (when desktop effects is automatically disabled).
Thank you for replying.
