    I don’t know how there are people that wait a month between updates, it’s like they don’t actually want a rolling release.

      As someone who used Arch for several years and has been on Tumbleweed for a few years now, life happens. I ran Arch on my laptop, desktop, and a server, and I could go weeks if not 1-2 months between actively using one of those. But when I do, I want the latest software.

      So I now use Tumbleweed on my desktop and laptop and Leap on my server. Updates are no longer painful whether it’s been a week or a month. I also switched to AMD GPU, which further reduced my issues.

      I think Arch is fine, Tumbleweed just fits my lifestyle more. I’ll probably move my server to MicroOS one of these days, probably when Leap 15.6 EOL is announced.

        Impossible! Everyone knows Arch users don’t have a life. /j

        But damn you have a pretty computer free life if you can go weeks between usage.

          I have a work computer, Steam Deck, and video game console as well. Sometimes I just don’t get around to using my desktop PC or laptop.

          I also have kids, and they use my computers more than I do (mostly Minecraft). But I don’t personally use them every day (usually 1-2x/week, if that), and I don’t run updates every time I use my computer. I do try to remember to update them once/week (usually Saturdays), but that doesn’t happen very consistently.

          And then there are vacations and whatnot (e.g. we went on a family trip for 3 weeks last year). Life gets busy, and mine doesn’t revolve around my computers, my computers are merely tools I use to play games, work on personal projects, and sometimes watch shows.
