What is openSUSE Tumbleweed?
openSUSE is a Linux distribution. The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure rolling release version of openSUSE containing the latest "stable" versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. It includes the Linux kernel, SAMBA, git, desktops, office applications and many other packages. Tumbleweed is offered to Power Users, Software Developers and openSUSE Contributors. According to the community, if the user requires the latest software stacks and Integrated Development Environment or need a stable platform closest to bleeding edge Linux, Tumbleweed is the best choice.
