I recently installed openSUSE Tumbleweed on my desktop computer. After tweaking it as desired, and several sudo zypper dup commands later, I was happy. I don’t know what I did after the fact, but I now have openSUSE Micro OS, and not by choice! I want to go back to Tumbleweed, but I’m unsure how to do this.
When I perform a **sudo zypper dup**, I now get this:

It seems like I should either choose **Solution 1 **or **Solution 3**.
**Can you help with the appropriate action?** Note that I have access to the snapshots for both the last **Tumbleweed** update and the recent **Micro OS** updates. Thanks in advance.
I’m sure it was something that I did (or didn’t do) due to not reading carefully during one of the recent updates. Thanks for the input. I’ll see if anyone else chimes in, or I’ll just pull the trigger.
I, likewise, don’t know how I did that. If I were to guess, I may have typed something other than sudo zypper dup. The good thing is that I have the snapshot before transitioning to MicroOS, in case I break things further.
I’ll try Option 1 and post the results (if anything, it may be interesting to read about what happens).
I am a bit lost about the concept “MicroOS”, but when it needs some repos to be installed from at all, you better check your repo list for such a MicroOS repo.
Here’s the final update from my part. Choosing the selection below was the appropriate action and my system has been successfully reverted back to Tumbleweed.
Solution 1: deinstallation of product:MicroOS-20210904-0.x86_64
There were no issues with the process, thus I’m very impressed with the entire process. I wish I knew how I accidentally installed MicroOS in the first place, but at least I can confirm that it is easy to recover from this. Thanks for you time and input with this.
