Is there a good description of the future of Leap in SUSE? A roadmap type of thing to help one understand where things are headed?
Looks grim.
Looks very grim.
Does anybody have a good answer to Roger's question, or is there no roadmap?
15.5 is committed and being worked on. 15.4 was just released a couple of months ago. Meaning if we do the math, 15.4 will carry us into 2023, then 15.5 will carry us to the end of 2024 before maintenance updates _potentially_ stop. Basically a question is being asked for planning of a community project about 2 years out. That's a stretch IMHO. Do we have a plan for all the Linux kernel features that are coming along in the next 2 years or what GNOME or KDE or many other bits an pieces of the distro will deliver in the next 2 years? Anybody know if docker will really be dead in 2 years and the world will have switched to podman? What other services will systemd try to subsume? There are new ideas being kicked around but no one really knows what this is going to look like even 1 year from now. I'd say it is recognized that abandoning a distribution that looks similar to what we are all used to is probably not the greatest idea since sliced bread. However, just because it may look similar to what we are used to does not mean it has to be put together in the same way.
I use Leap and would like to keep doing so. But I've been experimenting with Mint since it offers longer support for versions. If I was going to have to move to a rolling release, I'd look first at arch.
Makes me wonder if other distributions have a 2 year roadmap? I've never looked, so I really do not know. But you are of course free to choose a distribution of your liking.
