    I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now (btw).

    Well, prepare for some even bigger updates. When a new libc or gcc or similar such version comes out, they like to recompile everything.
    Sometimes you get 4000+ package updates, just from one day to the next.

    They do that, though, because it increases compatibility, and you get automatic snapshots, too, so it’s kind of less daunting than 250+ package updates on Debian et al.

      I haven’t personally had those huge updates ever break on Tumbleweed. The one thing that apparently caused stuff to break was the recent KDE 6 update, but I’ve heard so and did it with Discover’s offline update and it all went fine.
