What’s the actual practical difference between Leap and Tumbleweed? (feddit.uk)

So I was using Tumbleweed on my old laptop but I got kind of sick of all the updates; I felt like that icon showing I had updates available just had a permanent space on my screen. Every time I refreshed I had at least 200mb of updates to do. So when I got my new laptop I went with Leap instead.

But what’s the actual difference? So the OS only gets updated once a year or so does it? Are smaller releases more forthcoming? What if there’s other packages that get updated? Do I have to wait a year to get the latest version or are they updated more regularly? I’m wondering if I should look at Slowroll as I don’t want to be waiting a year for new features.
