Watchdog is responsible for monitoring tiny systems like raspberry PI, BeagleBone or any other system.
The main functionality of the watchdog is to check, if the system is still responding, lets say, to keep-alive messages.
Let’s assume, the system is stuck in a kernel panic, this will be automatically restarted by watchdog after reaching a grace time period. So a manual rebooting by unplugging the DC adapter is not required at all.
openSUSE Leap 15.1 is available at the end of May 2019, and the upgrade process is simple.
Note, that it is always a good idea to:
– look into the upgrade release notes to make sure, you don’t run in any deprecations with your currently running software
– run a backup or a snapshot of the system, which will going to be upgraded.
A new generation of mini pc, is the slogan of the of the manufacturer of the Orange PI zero board.

Solid performance for that size and price – 7,60$.
I think its a really good choice for inexpensive portable linux system.
