"Tumbleweed is the best rolling-release distribution out there!"
What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

I love the fact that this operating system is a rolling release and all you do is install it once and and you will continue to receive the benefits of the latest packages and kernel without a full system upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Daily updates can be a bit disruptive and is not idea for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not what I expected from my favourite Linux distribution. Very disappointed!"
What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Once it is installed, it works OK. I've always liked YasT and as a result it's easy to get around to enable services, network configurations, start and stop services and so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

From the outset, trying to install from the network installer is a waste of time. There are so many failed checksums that it takes many hours of frustration only to end up with minimum functionality and a broken KDE desktop.

Installing from the full installation image works better, but snapper won't' run because of a bad checksum on one of the dependencies. This is a step in the wrong direction from all of the previous versions which installed without issues.

Better quality control is required! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"You get latest and greatest software with openSUSE Tumbleweed"
What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

You always get the latest software versions with openSUSE Tumbleweed. You don't need to plan release upgrades every few years because there are none - you make regular updates and get the newest versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

You can get into situations when your old software configuration does not work anymore because new backwards-incompatible versions get installed. This is why you need a test environment where to test updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"openSUSE Tumbleweed Power and Beauty"
What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

One of the most beneficial aspects of openSUSE Tumbleweed is its rolling release model, which allows users to always have the most up-to-date software packages and security patches without needing to reinstall when a new version is released. This can be particularly useful for developers and advanced users who want to stay on the cutting edge of technology and have the latest tools and features at their disposal.

Another beneficial aspect of openSUSE Tumbleweed is its strong focus on user choice and customization. The operating system includes a wide range of software packages and tools that can be easily installed and configured to meet the user's needs. Additionally, the system consists of several customization options and settings that can be adjusted to suit the user's preferences.

Overall, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is a highly flexible and customizable operating system that is well-suited for advanced users and developers who want to stay up-to-date with the latest technology and have the ability to tailor their system to their specific needs and preferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

openSUSE Tumbleweed may not be the best choice for users who value stability and predictability above all else, or for those who are using the operating system in a production environment where downtime or system instability is not acceptable. It is generally recommended for advanced users and developers who are comfortable with the potential for occasional issues that can arise from using pre-release software.

"Uptodate secure OS for HPC"
What do you like best about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Blazingly uptodate with a decent community support having a lot of much awaited features and unbelievably customer friendly. The OS distribution is maintained with high quality standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Limited hardware options and no backupgrades for older hardwares. The packages are also limited so the development curve becomes a little steep towards scale, you need to be a hawkeye to avoid security updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
