openSUSE Slowroll
A stable rolling release distribution positioned between Leap and Tumbleweed
Slowroll provides a stable rolling-release experience by combining monthly snapshots of Tumbleweed and in-between updates for bug fixes and security patches. It’s designed for users who don’t want the very bleeding edge of openSUSE Tumbleweed, yet don’t want to wait 12 months or more for major updates as with openSUSE Leap.
DownloadNote: Experimental Phase
Currently Slowroll is still in an experimental phase, therefore you should be mindful of potential issues (especially with third-party repos) until it matures.
Bandwidth Friendly
Slowroll reduces bandwidth consumption by limiting updates to monthly snapshots plus essential patches, making it ideal for users with limited internet access.
Tested Snapshot Base
By using snapshots of Tumbleweed that have already undergone testing, Slowroll lowers the risk of major regressions compared to truly instantaneous rolling updates.
Modern Software with Stability
Get access to more up-to-date packages than in a traditional fixed-release (Leap) while maintaining more conservatism than full rolling. Great for desktops where you want current features but less frequent upheaval.
Defined Update Cadence
Slowroll uses a predictable update schedule – big updates approximately once a month, plus security/bug‐fix updates as needed. That predictability makes planning easier for users and administrators.
Built-in Snapshot Protection
Leveraging the underlying openSUSE infrastructure (with Btrfs snapshots, etc.), Slowroll allows you to rollback if something does go wrong — giving extra peace of mind for less frequent but bulkier updates.

Choosing Which Media to Download
The Offline Image is typically recommended as it contains most of the packages available in the distribution and does not require a network connection during the installation.
The Network Image is recommended for users who have limited bandwidth on their internet connections, as it will only download the packages they choose to install, which is likely to be significantly less than 4.7GB.
अनुशंसित सिस्टम आवश्यकताएँ
- 2 Ghz dual core processor or better
- 2GB physical RAM + additional memory for your workload
- Over 40GB of free hard drive space
- Either a DVD drive or USB port for the installation media
- Internet access is helpful, and required for the Network Installer
Verify Your Download Before Use
Many applications can verify the checksum of a download. To verify your download can be important as it verifies you really have got the ISO file you wanted to download and not some broken version.
For each ISO, we offer a checksum file with the corresponding SHA256 sum, and a signature file with a cryptographic signature.
To ensure integrity of the downloaded file you can use sha256sum to verify the checksum, and gpgv to verify the cryptographic signature.
