openSUSE Tumbleweed vs openSUSE MicroOS (self.foss)

I recently came across openSUSE again and decided to give it a try this time. I am daily driving Fedora 40 right now and before coming across openSUSE I wanted to switch to Fedora Kinoite or uBlue Aurora (i.e., immutable / atomic). That's why MicroOS piqued my interest but I had a hard time find information if MicroOS is suitable for daily driving as a atomic desktop or mainly used for a container host on a server.

If someone has personal experience with openSUSE or could link me to a nice write up comparing the two I would be very thankful!

Edit:

In the MicroOS portal it is described like this:

Rolling Release: Every new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot also automatically produces a new openSUSE MicroOS release.

I am a long-time Tumbleweed user. It's the most stable rolling release distro I've tried, so if you want that latest software, it's a great choice. I've not tried MicroOS yet, so I can't comment on that.

Thank you.

In the MicroOS portal it is described like this:

Rolling Release: Every new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot also automatically produces a new openSUSE MicroOS release.

So it should get the latest software pretty fast too, right?

I imagine so, buy have no first hand experience.
