Max and/or Doug will provide an update on Leap 16. The openSUSE release team has confirmed that there will be a successor to Leap 15, marking a significant numerical leap forward. Many users are using Leap 15.6, but the anticipation for Leap 16 is already building. This new version will be based on SUSE’s Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP) codebase, blending the advanced features of an enterprise server distribution with the user-friendly maintenance and security that the Leap series is known for.

Leap 16 aims to strike a balance between being cutting-edge and maintaining the traditional values of Linux operating systems. This approach is a direct result of SUSE’s development of ALP and its initiatives to effectively integrate community packages. The transition to Leap 16 is more than just a numerical upgrade; it symbolizes a significant technological advancement and an enhanced user experience.
