OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 entered beta testing stage

Published beta release of the distribution openSUSE Leap 15.3 based on the base set of SUSE Linux Enterprise distribution packages with some custom applications from the repository openSUSE Tumbleweed . universal DVD build is available for download, 4.3 GB in size (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64les, 390x). The release of openSUSE Leap 15.3 is expected in July 2021.

Unlike past releases of openSUSE Leap, version 15.3 is not built by rebuilding SUSE Linux Enterprise src packages, but
using the same set of binary packages with SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP 3. It is assumed that using the same binary packages in SUSE and openSUSE will simplify migration from one distribution to another, save resources on building packages, distributing updates and testing, unify differences in spec files and allow you to move away from diagnosing different package assemblies when parsing messages about errors. The Xfce desktop has been updated to 4.16.
