From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Leap Micro 6 Enters Alpha Stage (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

(Sorry corrected the comment)

Yes, they have rollbacks for one previous version.

But the whole point of rpm-ostree is that you can be bit-for-bit the same as the upstream OS. If you do rpm-ostree reset you will go back to the latest but untampered system of Fedora.

On OpenSUSE microOS (and the others, please invent a name), you either install and immediately snapshot the system. Then you can fall back to an untampered but very outdated system. Or you need to reinstall afaik, which makes it not better than traditional distros.
