+title: Two in one
+---
+
+As you may know (unless you've been living in Alpha Centauri for the past century) the openSUSE community KDE team publishes [LiveCD images](https://www.dennogumi.org/2016/02/where-are-my-noble-gases-i-need-more-noble-gases/) for those willing to test the latest state of KDE software from the git master branches without having to break machines, causing a zombie apocalypse and so on. This post highlights the most recent developments in the area.
+
+Up to now, we had 3 different media, depending on the base distribution (stable Leap, ever-rolling Tumbleweed) and whether you wanted to go with the safe road (X11 session) or the dangerous path (Wayland):
+
+    * Argon (Leap based)
+    - Krypton (Tumbleweed based, X11)
+    - Krypton Wayland (Tumbleweed based, Wayland)
+
+So far we've been trying to build new images in sync with the updates to the [Unstable KDE software repositories](https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Unstable_Frameworks.2C_Plasma_and_Applications). With the recent [switch to being Qt 5.7 based](https://plus.google.com/107083440433055844575/posts/D2tTMRxEzhk), they broke. That's when Fabian Vogt stepped up and fixed a number of outstanding issues with the images as well.
+
+But that wasn't enough. It was clear that perhaps a separate image for Wayland wasn't required (after all, you could always start a session from SDDM). So, perhaps it was the time to merge the two...
+
+![Symmetrical docking!]({{ site.url }}/images/2016/06/choryujin.gif){: .center-image }
+
+Therefore, from today, the Krypton image will contain **both** the X11 session and the Wayland session. You can select which session to use from the SDDM screen. Bear in mind that if you use a virtual machine like QEMU, you may not be able to start Wayland from SDDM due to [this bug](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364740).

+
+    - [Argon (x86_64 only)](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/?P=openSUSE_Argon.x86_64*.iso)
+    - [Krypton (i586)](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/?P=openSUSE_Krypton.i686*.iso)
+    - [Krypton (x86_64)](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/?P=openSUSE_Krypton.x86_64*.iso)
+
+(The i686 image is a bit behind compared to the x86_64 - we're working on that)
+
+Should you want to use these live images, remember  [where to report distro bugs](https://bugzilla.opensuse.org) and where to [report issues in the software](https://bugs.kde.org). Have a lot of fun!
