From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Tumbleweed is rolling release so just make sure you snapshot your system once before an update and once after just Incase something goes wrong
Opensuse already does this by default.
Opensuse is a amazing roller release as it is rock solid and stable.
Oh yeah that's right. I totally forgot ooensuse does that 😆 been a long time since I've used it.
I'm on Arch myself. Been a Linux user for 15 years I love it
Thanks for reminding me
I have used linux in the server era for around 8 years noe. On the desktop for about 5. I did use arch before i settled on opensuse.
That's awesome! Enjoy
