From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A Tumbleweed snapshot is very different than Fedora though. They are created automatically, sometimes daily, based on the activity in Factory and the result of automated testing, so any snapshot from there is essentially a snapshot of factory where the main development happens. Fedora has much more work before it is made a release.
Leap uses SUSE Enterprise binaries now, it’s part of the closing the gap they mentioned towards the end and it did end up implemented in SP3. The package hub is community packages from openSUSE. SUSE and openSUSE have a very different and much more collaborative process.
Isn't the rawhide -> branched -> stable process similar?
Rawhide is also rolling with daily updates, it gets frozen before a release (branched) and tested, and then branched is released as stable.
TW is rolling, it gets frozen before a release and tested, and then that snapshot is released.
They're both using OpenQA to run automated tests before releasing the snapshot for the day.
Nice, that's good to know.
Yeah, I'm starting to get that. It looks really nice for both corporate and personal interests.
