I don’t think so
The lifecycle of various ALP products has not yet been locked down, but there’s some assumptions we can consider as highly likely
1. Of course, when I said “ALP” I meant “one of products based on ALP”. 2. In the end I have replied on Reddit: Aren’t all MicroOS versions derived from Tumbleweed? Then the one thing they are missing is slowness. You wouldn’t believe how normal people (like my wife or my mother) whine when they get upgrades all the time. Most people have better things to do with their computers than to play with them (or develop with them) and they are usually really not interested in keeping their system up to the latest whims of developers. And yes, the idea of micro-host-system with flatpaks is a good one. Just make that host system slower to update (flatpaks are already too fast). Something like openSUSE/SLE Micro-based Leap?
