There's also Slowroll which is Tumbleweed but like 1 week behind in updates for a stable experience, and there's some immutable flavour that I forgot the name of.

I'm using Tumbleweed, the one issue of rolling release (things occasionally breaking) is not an issue since OpenSuse natively supports snapshots (and automatically makes a snapshot before and after every update).

Something breaks? Reboot -> Boot from read-only snapshot -> selecting the one from before the update -> in terminal: snapper rollback -> done. Update again 2d later.

    My 5 cents is the risk of breaking is overblown in many cases. Of course, you don't want important servers to break. But I am running Debian since 15 years and in fact, for me it broke more often than Arch, for example because of GNOME issues, or NVidia issues. And well that's a biased sample because I use Debian for a larger proportion of time. I think for desktop users, it matters more to have a backup system.

    Yes, the only thing that ever breaks for me are my nvidia drivers (specifically if there arent new drivers for a new kernel yet). Sometimes I don't roll back and just keep it, but often I'm using local AI for uni stuff so I roll back to fix them.
