Seems our worst fears are valid:

What other distribution is out there we can easily migrate to?
I'm just switching over to my Arch boxes, or Debian Pis. All distros have there pluses or minuses. Arch is a phenomenal, rock solid, KISS philosophy Linux distribution. pacman package manager is absolutely simple and easy to use (note: no 'k'). Much like zypper from the command line.
Debian is also a good choice. Like it. apt and dpkg from the command line are also workable, though take a bit more learning than pacman. But Debian does have non-free for codecs (like our packman). I'm not a fan of creating debian packages, but that is also doable.
How does Arch do codecs stuff?
There are a lot of newer distros out in the last 6-7 years I haven't even tried yet, but after being whip-sawed by my distro of choice, I'm sticking to the distros least likely to change.
Of course.
My hope is we can do 15.5 as a LTS or Evergreen release so I can stay with openSUSE for a couple more years.
SUSE Devs -- you listening? 15.5 LTS or Evergreen. Keep it going for a while for those of us who have contributed two decades to testing and improving your product. That will allow us all to part on good terms.
I will have to install whatever as a double boot while I learn the ropes on another distro.
Please understand that ALP is a platform, which is under design and development.
We will very likely again build a regular Leap like distribution on top of this platform.
No need for FUD.
Then you have to be clear and explain what is going to happen to us, now. I very much have fear.
I guess the "under design and development" part is difficult to understand. As I stated previously in another thread, there is a commitment for openSUSE Leap 15.5 to look the same as what we are used to. That means no changes, other than the usual package churn until mid 2024. Any other distro giving you an ~18 month road map?
