Leap 15.6 to Tumbleweed

English Applications
1

Hey everyone! The question’s in the title, but my packages are always outdated and a pain to install on Leap. I want to move to Tumbleweed. However, I’m unsure what the safest way is to do it. If I simply do an offline update, will it keep all of my files or will I have to reinstall everything? Should I disable certain repos, or an other things?

I just want to know how much changes, how safe it is and if it’s even actually worth the upgrade.

There is, also in 15.6 the package opensuse-migration-tool that takes care of migration 15.6 → Tumbleweed ( and not only that )

I know you asked about Tumbleweed (and I played with it for a while - stopping about 6 months ago and since then sticking with LEAP-15.6), but something else you may wish to consider is ‘slowrole’.

You refer in all your posts to “Slowrole”. The correct distribution name and brand is “Slowroll”.
