Why is firefox one version behind?

The latest version probably hasn’t passed qc yet

rolling release is not the same as bleeding edge mind you. While Tumblweed is very close to bleeding edge it does actually do a load of quality control and automated test before making the updates available in the repos.

That’s a reason not to use the suse repo. Alpha or maybe beta is bleeding edge. One month behind is just one month behind.

Haven’t tried openSUSE Tumbleweed yet but I heard it’s a great stable rolling release distro. I might give it a try. How’s the package manager?

It’s great, there’s a toolbx/distrobox image, check it out

$ toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/opensuse-toolbox:tumbleweed
$ toolbox enter opensuse-toolbox-tumbleweed

I’d go for the atomic version nowadays

Good but slow. Zypper has nice features but for some reason it can only download one package at a time. There is a GitHub issue about this that has been around for years.
