A lot of bold claims related to be better for gaming even compared to Tumbleweed. Does it really have a lead on it? Why Gnome instead of KDE?
There's a KDE version as well called Kalpa.
The main benefit is that the base system is immutable, which should make it much more reliable. So to get new software, instead of doing a
zypper install ...
, you'd leave the base system alone and only install packaged apps (e.g. flatpaks). That way you don't get conflicts between package versions and upgrades can be predictable.I don't have direct experience with it, so I don't know how well that works in practice. But I definitely like the idea of using it for my NAS, which doesn't need a lot of updates. It currently runs Leap, but MicroOS should be a relatively straight-forward switch.
