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.

Nothing against OpenSUSE tumbleweed, as I've heard great things, but I thought it was also rolling release, very similar to Arch...?
Bootable BTRFS snapshots and a less fast update schedule are the biggest differences AFAIK.
I would probably have gone with Slowroll if it was ready to go when I installed Tumbleweed.
It is, but the packages are slightly held back and therefore the system is more stable.
