I prefer LTS releases usually so Tumbleweed doesn’t suit me. Slowroll sounds doable but I see it’s still experimental. Is it as reliable as Tumbleweed?

It's been a few months, but it just seems to lose itself every now and then. Runs fine for a while and then a random update just screws something up. This has happened to me a few times now, but again it's been a while since my last test.

Hopefully someone else can give you some more relevant and up-to-date information.

Thanks for that. Have the problems been recoverable, or did you have to reinstall afterwards?

I'm a noob, so I always ended up just reinstalling.

Fair. I was the same in the beginning too.

purely anecdotal, but I tried it last month, and an update seemed to bork the nvidia driver, so I figured it wasn't ready for me yet, and went to mint.

I suspect it'd have been fine with open source drivers though.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I'll likely be using integrated graphics so I might be fine for that situation.
