SUSE’s aim with its Adaptable Linux Platform is to build a new immutable-base operating system for enhanced application-layer features and container orchestration on newer hardware. The prototype that is expected soon will have x86-64-v3 as a baseline.
From what I gather on the factory list, that means processors and motherboards from 2020 on. If you have older hardware -- you're not invited to the party and you are just fsck'ed.
IMO it's more accurate to say v3 means when released next year or after, it might be targeted to hardware about 9-10 years old or newer. I have two v3 from 2014, one from 2012. Intel Sandy Bridge from Q1-2012 I don't have but I think may be v3. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
