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.

It’s essentially MicroOS, but built on Leap and not Tumbleweed, which is more bleeding-edge.
