How openSUSE Tumbleweed makes a great case for rolling release Linux distributions
It's been a while since I've given openSUSE a test drive. Honestly…it's been too long. I've always respected what the developers of openSUSE do and have long thought the distribution served a very specific type of user. Who is that user? For the longest time. I was convinced that openSUSE was best suited for users with considerable experience on the open-source operating system.
You see, openSUSE (at least Leap) is based on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). You can read more about the distro in my What is openSUSE and who is it for? Suffice it to say, openSUSE -- regardless of which version you use -- is geared toward power users. Does that mean those without Linux experience should shy away from this operating system? The answer is a bit complicated.
