The openSUSE project has released Leap 16, its first major release since openSUSE Leap 15 in May 2018. This release brings some changes to the core of the distribution aside from the usual software upgrades; YaST has been retired, SELinux has replaced AppArmor as the default mandatory access control (MAC) system, and more.

My reading is that the installer is no longer based on YaST, not that YaST has been retired overall.

I truly hope they don’t retire it until there’s a true successor. Yast is in its own class of admin tools.

Agreed. Fortunately, I don’t see anything about that being planned, they are just separating system installation from system management. I’m fine with that, as long as the new installer keeps the good control over partition management.

Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for a pretty UI rework but it really grinds my gears to see it be running in Firefox. A whole browser for a GUI is insane?? I’m sure it will improve with time but when it loaded on my VM it reminded me of a virus opening a browser window.

What really? I thought the screenshot looked like electron/web app slop but I was like, maybe they’ve just gone for a “modern” gtk/qt theme. It’s actually just a Firefox PWA?

Yeah, it’s explicitly built to run in a browser: agama-project.github.io

I guess, the idea is mainly that you can also perform the installation over the network. I can imagine this being quite cool for setting up a Raspberry Pi or similar.
