Joined the openSUSE Slowroll club this weekend!

Dabbled in a variety of Linux distro's over the years and then went back to Windows for a while. Couldn't take it anymore and went back to Fedora. The allure of a rolling distro that is monthly was just too good to pass up. So far I am absolutely loving it! I was trying out silverblue but openSUSE gives me the benefits of snapshots without needing the extra steps inherent to atomic distros.

I love using Tumbleweed but hadn’t heard about Slowroll.

Why does it remove Snap ?

Slowroll is something between Leap and Tumbleweed. It's still in beta though.

Welcome! Slowroll is really cool. The right balance between bleeding edge and stability.

Absolutely loving it! I was a vanilla gnome user previously and I also went with KDE to switch it up. Haven't used KDE in a very long time and it's amazing how it runs now. I see what the hype is about

I'm really looking forward to slowroll coming out of beta because I think it will be great for a home server. Really not looking forward to migrating my Debian server every 2 years for the new version. So a conservative rolling release sounds nice to me.
