OpenSUSE Leap 16 will adopt an “immutable”

[Jessica Brown]

OpenSUSE Leap 16 will adopt an “immutable” Linux architecture, focusing on a write-protected base system for enhanced security and stability. Software delivery via isolated containers, such as Flatpaks, will align the distribution with cloud and automated management trends. While this model enhances security, it may limit flexibility for desktop users who prefer customizable systems. Nevertheless, openSUSE's focus on enterprise and cloud environments ensures it remains a leader in innovation for automated and secure Linux systems.
