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.

Seems like a good idea, though I've been impressed with how stable Tumbleweed somehow manages to be. I have been running it for months now without a single problem, even though it receives updates several times a week.

Apparently they get their software tested via OpenQA which manages to remove most issues bsfore they hit users.

Yeah, it's a good idea but I don't think I'll be moving from Tumbleweed.
