Written by Michael Larabel in SUSE on 1 June 2017 at 06:16 AM EDT. 4 Comments

openSUSE's Tumbleweed rolling-release Linux distribution has now switched over to using GCC7 as its default code compiler.

As of this week, openSUSE Tumbleweed is using GCC 7.1 as its default code compiler. GCC 7.1 was released at the start of May.
