Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I've seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others' experience with doing so has been.
Tumbleweed for over 10 years, if you know how to roll back with snapper there is nothing to lose.
While transition to Thumbleweed can go smooth if you are lucky enugh, switch from Thumbleweed to Slowroll can be problematic. It will envolve downgrading packages that is usually not tested at all. Better switch from Leap to Slowroll directly.
Don't do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.
Have you even tried to do it? You don't sound like it.
I've done the Leap -> TW switch three years ago and I'm updating once a month (or maybe once every two months for a while) and never got any breakage.
Why not moving to microos? I've moved to fedora silverblue from fedora and it's been a well rewarding journey. I see no big difference to microos
