Presenter:Lee Lammert Chief Scientist @ OmniTec Corp. The latest rel, ie 16.0, came out 1 Oct '25. The previous, ie Leap 15.7 went EOL just 2 weeks ago on 30 April .

openSUSE is the "open source" version of SUSE Enterprize Linux.

openSUSE Leap 16 is one of the biggest shifts in the SUSE ecosystem in years — bringing:

• the new Agama installer,
• Cockpit-based administration,
• stronger enterprise alignment,
• Wayland-first desktops,
• SELinux by default,

and a growing focus on:

• containers,
• immutable systems, and
• AI workloads.

This session takes a practical, real-world look at:

• what actually changed,
• what works well,
• what still breaks, and
• what longtime Linux admins need to know before deploying or upgrading.

We’ll cover:

• Leap vs Tumbleweed,
• YaST changes,
• Packman realities,
• btrfs/snapper recovery,
• Wayland pain points,
• container workflows, and
• live demos of modern openSUSE administration tools.
