I would have loved to see a comparison of Ubuntu Core against openSUSE MicroOS (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS), I wonder whether it would be up for the task they had in mind.

"In other words openSUSE MicroOS is an operating system you don't have to worry about. It's designed for but not limited to container hosts and edge devices.

...

- Read-only root filesystem to avoid accidental modifications of the OS

- Transactional Updates leveraging btrfs snapshots to apply updates without interfering with the running system

- health-checker to verify the OS is operational after updates. Automatically rolls back in case of trouble.

..."

Not to mention, Suse is far more lenient when it comes to licensing in my experience. I remember them being extremely blase about one of my old jobs using a significantly higher number of licenses than had been purchased, with their sales team's response amounting to a particularly verbose "meh, you're good."
