Thanks Jacob,
What I wonder about Tumbleweed is the following. What happens if you do
not update the system for a while. Let's say you had the system sit for 2
years but for whatever reason you never did updates. But now you need to
install a new package that you did not install when you performed the
installation. Are you required now to bring the system up to date before
you install the new package?
Thanks,
Gianluca

I have been a Tumbleweed user for a long time, it is
by far the most "stable" rolling distro I have ever used. The main benefit that
comes to mind is that even *if* an update went wrong, Zypper already used Snapper to make
a BTRFS snapshot to roll back to. A broken update is a simple 1 minute rollback.
Having all my favorite software up to date on my nice stable TDE desktop.... i couldnt
ask for a better experience.
All I do is install TW with the "Basic Desktop" pattern, and then use XTerm to
install TDE with the urls pulled up in Firefox. I always like to have IceWM as a backup
anyways. This makes for a nice minimum install. Oh and before I forget you need to install
Pipewire still unless youre an ALSA purist lol
I have also looked at Slowroll (1 major update aprox every 3 months), but Tumbleweed
hasnt really let me down. I always come back.
I do have debian systems for specific purposes, but TW is where all my actual work
happens on a Dell Latitude.
