openSUSE Tumbleweed -
Get openSUSE
State-of-the-art desktop and server operating system
With Tumbleweed you don't have to take difficult decisions about things you value, either freedom or safety, either control or security, technology or stability -- Tumbleweed lets you have your cake and eat it too!
Continuously Updated
You install it once and enjoy it forever. No longer do you have to worry every six months about massive system upgrades that risk bricking your system.
Leading-Edge
You get frequent updates that not only address vulnerabilities or squash bugs, but reflect latest features and developments, such as fresh kernels, fresh drivers and recent desktop environment versions.
Stable
Updates are thoroughly tested against industry-grade quality standards, taking advantage of a build service other Linux distributions envy us for. Not only is each new version of a package individually tested, but different clusters of versions are tested against each other, making sure your system is internally consistent.
Simple to Use
With a single command you can update thousands of packages, rollback to last week’s snapshot, fast-forward again, and even preview upcoming releases.
Plays Nice with Your Hardware
Thanks to its leading-edge and thoroughly tested nature, Tumbleweed serves your hardware and devices like few other Linux distributions, making it a superb installment for workstations, laptops and notebooks alike.
Safe
Should anything unwanted occur you can always rollback to a previous state and find your files and programs just as they were before a bumpy update.
Secure
Built from latest kernel releases, compiled with the latest Spectre / Meltdown mitigation patches, with firewall and strong security policies turned on by default, your security is covered out-of-the-box.
Powerful
Harnessing technologies openSUSE is renowned for, such as the
Btrfs
file-system, the
snapper
command-line utility as well as the battle-proven
YaST
“control panel”, Tumbleweed empowers you with full control over your system, letting you define the settings you want and be done with it. No longer do you have to worry about a system interfering with your workflow.
Stands on Firm Ground
Tumbleweed builds on decades of usage, testing and debugging by hundreds of power-users, developers, system administrators and demanding doers that cannot afford to jeopardize their workflow. Tumbleweed’s solidity is embodied in many core packages whose DNA stems from the venerable SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Gaming
Tumbleweed provides users with the latest gaming-related software. With the Linux support for gaming improving rapidly, that’s an important aspect for smooth, performant and problem free experience in your favorite games.

Live
Please be aware of the following limitations of the live images:
They should not be used to install or upgrade. Please use the installation media instead
They have a limited package and driver selection, so cannot be considered an accurate reflection as to whether the distribution will work on your hardware or not
Kernel and initrd can’t be updated, so they shouldn’t be used as a persistent installation

Choosing Which Media to Download
The Offline Image is typically recommended as it contains most of the
packages available in the distribution and does not require a network
connection during the installation.
The Network Image is recommended for users who have limited
bandwidth on their internet connections, as it will only download the
packages they choose to install, which is likely to be significantly
less than 4.7GB.

Verify Your Download Before Use
Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify
your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the
ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version.
For each ISO, we offer a checksum file with the corresponding SHA256 sum, and a signature file with a cryptographic signature.
To ensure integrity of the downloaded file you can use sha256sum to verify the checksum, and gpgv to verify the cryptographic signature.
It should be
