Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I’ve seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others’ experience with doing so has been.

    Don’t do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.

      Have you even tried to do it? You don’t sound like it.

      I’ve done the Leap -> TW switch three years ago and I’m updating once a month (or maybe once every two months for a while) and never got any breakage.

      It’s only been around for less than a year as far as I’m aware and from what I gather still seems to be finding its sea legs as far as balancing between what rolls in immediately(ish) and what comes in through the big “tumbles”

        I guess with the BTRFS snapshots there is no reason to not use TW. But Slowroll really sounds like a Distro that makes sense

    Why not moving to microos? I’ve moved to fedora silverblue from fedora and it’s been a well rewarding journey. I see no big difference to microos

      How is opensuse with Codecs? I am on Fedora Kinoite from ublue, currently experimenting with secureblue, which is security hardened.

      Fedoras immutable Distros have a good ecosystem around them already.
