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.
I also recently landed on tumbleweed. Very happy so far.
I tried the microos version. I found I needed too many things that required the force install of packages on top of the system image, then would require a reboot to access. Just seemed like I was wasting my time running around in circles. Tumbleweed is perfect for my home server. Most services are using docker compose.
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.
