The openSUSE project is excited to announce that Leap Micro 6 is in its alpha development stage.
Building on the solid foundation of its predecessors, Leap Micro 6 continues to provide a stable, secure and scalable platform for modern lightweight host operating systems that mirrors features and enhancements of SUSE’s commercial SL Micro release.
With the upcoming release of Leap Micro 6, users of Leap Micro 5.4 will need to plan their migration either to Leap Micro 5.5, directly to Leap Micro 6 or a commercial version, as version 5.4 will reach end-of-life upon the launch of Leap Micro 6. Those currently on Leap Micro 5.5 will have the option to upgrade to version 6 or remain on 5.5 until the subsequent release.
Users familiar with Leap Micro 5.5 will remember its standout features, such as enhanced SELinux capabilities, improved podman-docker and Hyper-V support for AArch64, which have significantly bolstered the security and versatility of the operating system.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !open@discuss.tchncs.de
That… doesn’t look quite right…
Replace “Leap Micro” with a random word and you sill don’t know more.
So, what is Leap Micro?
From the second link:
Leap Micro is an ultra-reliable, lightweight operating system built for containerized and virtualized workloads.
So… it’s Alpine in openSUSE-flavor?
Thanks.
It’s essentially MicroOS, but built on Leap and not Tumbleweed, which is more bleeding-edge.
I wish them the best, but their model is not as good as Fedoras.
There is no
- rollback
- rebase
- git-like transparency
And they compensate that by advising users to not install any RPMs which is pretty hillarious. I will do a longer writeup on that
If I remember correctly they do have rollback, at least in openSUSE Aeon (the immutable version based on Tumbleweed) . It just using btrfs snapshots
(Sorry corrected the comment)
Yes, they have rollbacks for one previous version.
But the whole point of
rpm-ostreeis that you can be bit-for-bit the same as the upstream OS. If you dorpm-ostree resetyou will go back to the latest but untampered system of Fedora.On OpenSUSE microOS (and the others, please invent a name), you either install and immediately snapshot the system. Then you can fall back to an untampered but very outdated system. Or you need to reinstall afaik, which makes it not better than traditional distros.
