From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Opensuse kde plasma 6 upgrade (self.linux)

Plasma 6 landed in opensuse. However, I recommend to do it in tty because if you do it in plasma the upgrade will be incomplete because the shell will crash in the middle of update without installing all. In case this happen to anyone, just reinstall plasma 6 pattern and it will go without problems

First logout of Plasma, then you can change to tty 4 (for example) with ctrl + alt + F4, then you can login there with your user and do the upgrade safely in that other tty (or another one if you want to haha, just not in the normal desktop).

I think the Plasma desktop is always in tty 3 (ctrl + alt + F3) and the Plasma login is in tty2, in case you want to go back.
