OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion

Rockslide0482@discuss.tchncs.de to Linux@lemmy.ml – 28 points –

Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I've seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others' experience with doing so has been.

Don't do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.

I have used TW for years, and never got bothered by a breaking change for more than a day. And that only happened twice.

The only thing that keeps bothering me with Opensuse is their obsession with asking for a root password (and not for yours if you are an administrator, I mean the root user password) for every damn thing. Even installing a fucking user Flatpak requires a fucking root password !

Have you even tried to do it? You don't sound like it.

I've done the Leap -> TW switch three years ago and I'm updating once a month (or maybe once every two months for a while) and never got any breakage.

Sounds like slowroll to me, you should switch and enable autoupdates
