openSUSE Tumbleweed appreciation (kbin.social)

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.

Same here. been distro hopping for a long time but OpenSUSE Tumblweed just sticks. Very frequently updated, but quite stable since they do automated QA on packages and do not release updates that break things, also if something would break there is nice integration of BTRFS snappshotting so you can always reboot into a snapshot before the problematic update. Also has one of the best KDE Plasma and apps integrations.
