Overall Satisfaction with openSUSE Tumbleweed

We use openSUSE Tumbleweed for development and hosting systems which require latest software versions which are not yet available in openSUSE Leap. With Tumbleweed you install a server and you never have to make version to version upgrades - you just make routine system package updates and you always have the latest software versions. Forever.
  • Latest package versions
  • Never need to make version to version upgrades
  • Works stable
  • Sometimes after system update old software configuration does not work
  • Newest software versions
  • Stable
  • Small (in size) Docker image
  • Easier development
  • Access to latest software

Would you buy openSUSE Tumbleweed again?

Yes

openSUSE Tumbleweed is well suited for hosting fast developing systems and application Docker images, but if you are going to host applications which does not change for years, you'll get in trouble after some time, because system packages will be newer than your legacy application can understand. And then your application will start to fail.
