After distro hopping for ages, a while back I found myself giving Tumbleweed a try and I have been here ever since. Really really liking the experience and don’t think I’ll be hopping anywhere anytime soon. The game changer for me was the btrfs file system, and using snapper to do a rollback due to a bad update, and everything just working SO SMOOTHLY.
The rolling release model is wonderful, and the zypper updates / package management is a breath of fresh air.
Overall just want to say how much I’m enjoying it here and thanks to the developers and community for making such a great distribution.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is great and all, but have you tried openSUSE Aeon/formerly MicroOS Desktop (based on TW)? Don’t really wanna go back to traditional Linux Desktops at this point.
That’s their immutable varient isn’t it?
I don’t use one but I do think that’s going to become the best option for new/a large chunk of the userbase moving forward.
I think I am going to end up with an immutable distro myself once they have matured a bit more. I do have Fedora Kinoite (that’s the KDE Plasma one) on my laptop to try it out a bit. I could probably daily drive it too, but I don’t want to take any chances on my desktop cause I do need it for work too. I’ll give them a few more years.
Isn’t the MicroOS distro going to replace Leap at some point? I assume it will get a lot more polished then.
