openSUSE Leap 16.1 has entered the Release Candidate phase.

Usecase: Try the new Immutable mode

Leap 16.1 is the first Leap release to offer an Immutable Mode, a transactionally updated system with a read-only root filesystem. This is essentially what our users know from Leap Micro, just integrated directly into Leap.

Leap 16.1 in Immutable mode is replacing Leap Micro. There won’t be a Leap Micro 6.3 or 7.0; Leap Immutable is the way forward for container and virtual machine hosts, edge devices and anyone who prefers atomic updates with easy rollback.

Thank you! Does that mean you have to reboot every time you update something?

Yes, or you just let it do automatically and don't even know that it updated in the background.
