SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Stable
Tumbleweed is stable enough to use every day. Updates are OpenQA tested to ensure stability before being released for Tumbleweed. Bleeding edge untested software can be tried using OpenSUSE factory.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Massive ISO download
While a smaller network installer is available, the main desktop ISOs are absolutely massive - over 4 gigs - and the network installer doesn't support WiFi.
Con Network - Configuration (in case of Wifi) / Host connection
Does not allow to update repository - with Host connection / Host wifi.
Con Little / no third-party support
Like it or not, most third parties don't want to deal with less-popular distros. So most of them only support Ubuntu LTS and those versions of RHEL/CentOS that are still supported.
