openSUSE Slowroll Considers Renaming, Vote Now
Lately, news from the openSUSE camp has been pouring in, leaving no room for boredom among fans of the cute green chameleon.
To recall in chronological order. In mid-July, SUSE announced it would invest $10 million over the next few years to build a RHEL-compatible derivative.
A month later, CIQ (sponsor of the Rocky Linux project), Oracle, and SUSE founded OpenELA to keep the enterprise Linux ecosystem accessible to all.

Slowroll Distribution Keeps Name
Choosing a name for anything is not an easy task; the detail can wield significant influence, which is why a survey to make a decision about renaming Slowroll was presented.
Slowroll is a new distribution based on Tumbleweed, but rolls out updates slower; it is designed to implement updates at a pace of one to two months, integrating bug fixes and addressing Common Vulnerability and Exposure issues as they emerge.

openSUSE Slowroll Will Keep Its Name Unchanged
openSUSE Slowroll is a distribution yet in its infancy and whose first stable release even its developers do not bother to predict when it will be ready. Still, it is nevertheless attracting serious attention in the Linux community.
But it couldn’t be otherwise when we’re talking about one based on the much-loved Tumbleweed and a possible (almost) replacement for Leap, which is set to change the rolling-release model as we know it. More on that here.
