Leap + Flatpaks, or Universal Blue (Bluefin GTS or Aurora would be great). Aeon is a nice choice, but it's still very rolling-y and even QA tests don't really provide with the perfect combination when software's so new. More on reddit.com

May 25, 2026 - AppArmor is no longer available in SUSE Linux Enterprise 16.0. Leap users cannot select AppArmor as the Linux Security Module (LSM) during a new installation. AppArmor can still be enabled post-installation. For instructions, refer to AppArmor wiki page. Users migrating manually from 15.6 will retain AppArmor by default. Users migrating with openSUSE migration tool will be prompted to either switch to SELinux or preserve AppArmor during post-migration.

September 29, 2025 - Legacy BIOS is still supported in openSUSE Leap 16.0. However, some features are not available when using it (for example, full-disk encryption with TPM). Finally, support for legacy BIOS will be discontinued in the future. For that reason we recommend switching to UEFI at the nearest opportunity. In openSUSE Leap 16.0, /tmp is no longer persistent between reboots but uses tmpfs instead.

r/openSUSE on Reddit: Leap 16 for a non-technical user?
October 3, 2025 -
Hello,
As the End of 10 is nigh, a couple people I know want to switch away from Windows.
Personally, I use Tumbleweed on the side (my daily-driver is a Mac), but I don't think I would install a rolling-release distro on someone else's computer.
So, to that extent, I was looking at either openSUSE Leap or the not-affiliated Aeon Desktop. What would you guys recommend for a regular user? Think of someone who basically uses the computer to check email, use Google Workspace, watch YouTube, and other basic general tasks.
If you don't recommend Leap or Aeon, what would you suggest?
And, one more question if I may... It's my understanding that, when a new Leap version comes around, major OR minor (e.g. either 15.5 -> 15.6 or 15.x -> 16.0), the user has to manually "upgrade" (i.e. by manually switching repos, etc.). It's not an automatic process. Is this true?
Thanks! Looking forward to switching some people from Windows!

Leap + Flatpaks, or Universal Blue (Bluefin GTS or Aurora would be great). Aeon is a nice choice, but it's still very rolling-y and even QA tests don't really provide with the perfect combination when software's so new.

I am the non-technical user and I've been using oS since 11.4 (I think). After many years you do pick up some terminal commands, but if you just need web browser any OS will work these days and Leap should be maintenance-free aside for upgrading it to the newest version once a year.

October 1, 2025 - Now, with Leap 16.0, update repositories are being removed entirely. Leap Micro 6.X also no longer has dedicated update repositories.
