Have been running Tumbleweed on an old laptop for a couple of years that I update now and then, only time something broke was when plasma 6 was released and that was because of third party themes, reset to standard themes and everything worked again. Also have a gaming computer running Tumbleweed since October that i update almost daily, no issues yet on that one.
Aye. I've been on Tumbleweed on my main desktop for ~2 years at this point. It's really stable. There's been some smaller things I've troubleshooted myself. For example, at some point GDM changed their monitor settings, so in the login screen I'd have a terribly low refresh rate, and when logging in my screen would flash black. I had no idea what exactly was the culprit, but with some digging I found out how to fix that. This here gave me the fix.
Other than that, literally the only problems I've ever had has been because NVidia has gone and fucked something with their drivers. That's happened a handful of times, but I wouldn't put that blame on the distro.
Snapper is such a fantastic tool. Regardless of what distro one uses I'd highly recommend snapper. It comes baked into Tumbleweed, and I manually configured it on my Arch laptop.
