Christian attended openSUSE Conference 2025 that recently took place in Nuremberg. Together with Neal Gompa who is an active openSUSE contributor and project member we summarize the conference highlights. Beside bootable containers and the 20th anniversary of the project we also talk about upcoming openSUSE Leap, SLE and SL Micro releases. Neal shares experiences with the Framework 12 and his favorite code editor.
