At this point it would probably be the same thing as LXD. This is mostly an openSUSE effort and they had rpm packages (i.e not snap) for LXD for a while already.
I was hoping to find "I 'upgraded' to Incus and nothing is different AFAICT and everything works."
Barring that, I wanted to see "I switched from LXD to Incus and vague gesture X and Y don't work right."
Not interesting in any general sense, but my reasons are that I was just about to set up a new LXD host at my house, and retire an old one, but then the Incus fork was announced and I held off. LXD was fantastic overall for a homelab with 20-30 instances, but the non-fantastic parts were the weird Ubuttnuisms (mostly snap). So switching to Incus seems a no-brainer for me, if it is ready to rock.
Reading the docs, it sounds like it is, but I have kids and didn't manage to try it myself this weekend, so...
BTW do you have more info on the "openSUSE effort" angle? LXD supported non-snap installations the whole time AFAIK but the release announcement[1] is an intriguingly thorough expungement of Canonical-centric stuff.
I thought that was mainly just Stéphane Graber (the primary maintainer) being sick of their shit -- and he did quit Canonical like a week after they re-asserted control of LXD -- but is there more to know?
