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.

      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.

      All of YaST is deprecated because it was too difficult to maintain, and the devs are constantly telling people to stop using it over on the official forums. We’re supposed to have switched to Cockpit and Myrlyn by now.
