- Leap is the community edition of SLES. - SLES is the enterprise operating system of SUSE, with the latest release being SLE 15 which might be the last SLE. - SLED is the desktop edition of SLE, i.e. it's SLE + GNOME desktop. It is fully supported by SUSE and thus only ships the GNOME desktop. - Leap Mirco/MicroOS is based on SLE MicroOS, which is essentially a small footprint version of SLE/Leap with transaction-update and utilizes a read-only root partition. - Leap ALP is a potential community version of ALP.
So I already know what SLES, SLED, Leap and Tumbleweed is. But the differences to the others (microos, leap alp, and apparently now alp should still get as a base microos) I unfortunately still do not understand. Maybe I'm just too old for something like that. But on the one hand, the differences are not clear to me here and on the other hand, the new things seem to me completely immature. Partly even wrong assumptions are used here by ALP advocates. So how is this all supposed to work.
Well that's what we are trying to figure out, how are the puzzle pieces supposed to fit together. What are the advantages/disadvantages of the current model (full integration) vs a model of isolation? In which context do advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages of one or the other method. Is there a path where it all looks the same for the less interested user but still angers the fewest amount of people that dig deeper? No one is ever going to be completely happy ;) . How do we bridge the gap between slow (SLE/Leap) and fast (TW)? The increasing speed of the world is putting a lot of strain on the current model which is why all of this is being evaluated. What we have today has worked reasonably well for probably about 30 years but the model is certainly showing it's age.
