The survey page [1] has a link to the Linarite description [2]. Two of its features are: - Won't use transactional updates - Won't use containers in the core of the OS, but will support running containerized workloads from ALP
I interpret that as not requiring the use of containers, but maybe I'm wrong, and some desktop apps will only be available containerized. If most of the apps are just the containerized stuff pulled from SUSE, then I don't see the point in making the OS core different.
I don't even know what containerised really means, voted for slowroll. If it has anything to do with snap then it's bye-bye anyway; snap has limitations that I'm not prepared to accept (like home cannot be a link, it has this microsuck odor).
From the Linarite (ex Grassy Knoll) page discussion: Unanswered Questions: * Desktop apps - SUSE's ALP will likely use Flatpaks, if these are built on OBS, it may be possible to build rpm versions from the same source. It is also likely that some openSUSE contributors will prefer to ship their applications as rpms. So Ideally we want to support both. -- Robert Webb
