=> ↺ openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/32

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

At least over here where I live, the last few days we had slightly less summery time and more rain – and bad weather means more work in front of the screen. The same thing likely happened to other contributors, looking at the things we passed through staging or are still there. This week has seen 7 snapshots (0804..0810).
