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.

Note: 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.

Izbiranje nosilcev za prejemanje

Običajno je priporočljiv Ne-omrežni odtis, ker vsebuje večino razpoložljivih paketov distribucije in med nameščanjem ne potrebuje omrežne povezave.

Omrežni odtis priporočamo uporabnikom, ki imajo omejen prenos podatkov prek internetne povezave. Prejeti bodo samo paketi, ki jih boste izbrali za namestitev in to bo verjetno manj kot 4,7 GiB.

Dokumentacija

  • 2 GHz procesor z dvema jedroma ali boljši
  • 2GB fizičnega RAM-a + dodatni pomnilnik glede na uporabo
  • Več kot 40 GiB prostora na disku
  • Pogon DVD ali priključek USB za namestitveni nosilec
  • Omrežni dostop pomaga in je za omrežni namestilnik obvezen

Pred uporabo preverite prejeto

Nadzorno vsoto prejetega lahko preverite z več programi. Preverjanje prejetega je pomembno, saj ste tako lahko prepričani, da imate res celovito datoteko ISO in da ni pokvarjena.

Za vsak odtis ISO ponujamo datoteko z ustrezno nadzorno vsoto SHA256 in datoteko s kriptografskim podpisom.

Da preverite celovitost prejete datoteke, lahko uporabite program sha256sum za preverjanje nadzorne vsote in program gpgv za preverjanje kriptografskega podpisa.
