openSUSE Leap and Leap Micro doubles down on support

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Sep 03, 2025

Quoting: openSUSE Leap and Leap Micro doubles down on support - openSUSE News —

openSUSE Leap 15 is a record breaker. It will keep receiving updates until April 30 2026, delivering an unmatched 130 months of community support.

The usual lifecycle is 12 months plus 6 months of overlap for smooth upgrade, but Leap 15.6 has been stretched by an additional 4 months so we can maintain the familiar six month overlap after the release of Leap 16.0 in October 2025.

Altogether Leap 15 delivers more than double the 60 months of support that most long term supported distributions provide.

We are excited to announce that the record will not stand for long. Leap 16 will take things even further by supporting users with maintenance updates over two releases, giving each release a full 24 months of community support. Unless there is a strategic change the final Leap 16 release will be 16.6 in Fall 2031 and it will keep receiving updates until Leap 17.1 arrives two years later.
