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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages.
Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn't yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.
Plasma 6 on openSUSE Tumbleweed has been fairing well in developer testing and uncovered bugs are being fixed for forthcoming KDE Plasma 6.0 point releases.
openSUSE developer Fabian Vogt who has been coordinating the Plasma 6 landing in Tumbleweed noted that the KDE Wayland session isn't the default yet.
Plasma on Tumbleweed will switch to Wayland as a later time to help differentiate Wayland-specific bugs versus general Plasma 6 issues.
More details on the Plasma 6 transition for openSUSE Tumbleweed via the openSUSE Factory mailing list.
