From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just keep in mind that rolling releases are by definition not as stable as non-rolling. For example, Kernel 6.4 has introduced an interrupt storm for some motherboards with buggy implementation of TPM interrupts, and it'd get fixed only in 6.5...
LTS kernel anyone?
Does Opensuse Tumbleweed offer that option?
The LTS kernel? It should, but I've barely used it.
AFAIK, Opensuse Tumbleweed doesn't offer the LTS kernel... At least I haven't found any documentation on it. Could have been great.
