While it was intended for servers, if you set it up right it can be an openSuSE equivalent of Fedora Silverblue, even better if you prefer Plasma as I do. It takes a little work to get to an exact equivalent (IIRC toolbox had to be installed and some extra set up after install).
Also to note, if you don't want a rolling version, Leap does offer a transactional server option in the installer.
- rubyist5eva 5y agoYes, I've tested out the Gnome version of their transactional-update based Desktop. It was a generally good experience but I remember having issues with certain packages and ended up going back to regular Tumbleweed, but I'm hopeful for the future as it's very close to what I want out of the box - will definitely give it another try the future. I'm using a transactional-update based leap server for a container host right now and it's been awesome - I just upgraded it to 15.3 and seems to be working just fine as well.
- ragingrobot 5y agoThe only bad thing about the transactional server, and IIRC openSuSe doesn't mention it anywhere last I saw, is that you can't break up your root filesystem other than /home. I had installed / on an nvme drive which my BIOS doesn't boot from, so I have /boot on a separate partition. Breaks on every kernel update (although trivial to fix).
