The openSUSE project recently announced
the second release candidate (RC2) of its Aeon Desktop, formerly known
as MicroOS Desktop GNOME. Aside from the new coat of naming paint,
Aeon breaks ground in a few other ways by dabbling with technologies not found in other openSUSE releases. The goal for Aeon is to provide
automated system updates using snapshots that can be applied
atomically, removing the burden of system maintenance for
“lazy developers” who want to focus on their work rather than desktop
administration. System-tinkerers need not apply.
