Slowroll
From tumbleweed, to slowroll
Tumbleweed is openSUSE with fast
release (and big download packages.
Slowroll is a new experimental
distribution from 2023 based on
Tumbleweed, but rolling slower. With big
updates every one or two months, and
continous bug fixes and security fixes as
they come in.
