#openSUSE Leap 16.1 is here! 🎉 One distribution, two modes; traditional and immutable! Leap Micro is now built right into Leap, so #desktops, #servers, containers, and #edge devices all share the same release #iso and #lifecycle. https://news.opensuse.org/2026/11/03/leap-unites-traditional-and-immutable/

No more choosing between #Leap and Leap Micro. #openSUSE Leap 16.1 unites traditional and immutable #Linux in one release; boot the installer, pick your mode, and go. Transactional updates, Snapper rollbacks, containers with #Podman.  get.opensuse.org
