From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was using it on my older Asus and ran into wifi issues. I actually replaced the laptop before switching to tumbleweed. I'm running it on 3 computers so far, a Dell G15, custom built desktop, and a framework laptop.
I'm really liking it, it's a rolling release so it always has the news versions of everything, it's been really stable but also has a built in rollback feature in case there's a bad update
Thank you for sharing this! Yesterday I was searching online for Tumbleweed user experiences on Thinkpad, but I only found info about older Thinkpad models. I'll try it from a live disk. I might also switch to Framework later on...
Give it a shot! I did try running it on a live disk last week, the performance was really terrible (couldn't even move the mouse), don't give up on it immediately if that happens to you
Thanks for the encouragement, I will! I'll report here in case anyone is curious.
