Enterprise Linux on desktop?
Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?
I’m curious if it’s easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

It seems neither of us are correct. According to this, they’re both built from TW, but now leap can use those enterprise packages as well. I couldn’t find a more recent article. The main reasoning seems to be to allow opensuse users to test sel packages.
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.
Thats an older post, Leap 15.2 i think it said, more recent releases are sharing same SLE binaries, and part of Leap installs is now suse repo for some stuff rather than all from opensuse repo
