Rolling tumbleweed gif6/17/2023 ![]() In 1932 the line was extended in Grodzisk Mazowiecki to reach Grodzisk Mazowiecki PKP station and a short branch line was built in Włochy just outside Warsaw, likewise linking with the Włochy PKP station. The railroad operated 20 four-axle electric railcars produced by the English Electric Company at Preston, capable of travelling at a speed of up to 70 km/h, along with 20 unpowered passenger cars. The line was connected with a 3 kilometre long non-electrified technical line with the national rail system in Komorów, 24 kilometres of the line between Podkowa Leśna and Warsaw consisted of double track, the four kilometres long segment of the line leading to the railroad's final station in Warsaw at Marszałkowska Street was street-running. In 1927 a 32.4 kilometres long standard gauge line electrified at 650 V DC with overhead wire was opened, linking Grodzisk Mazowiecki with the center of Warsaw. The work began in Komorów and proceeded simultaneously in two directions. In 1924 the company received a concession from the ministry of transport to build a private railroad from Warsaw through Grodzisk Mazowiecki to Żyrardów, under the condition that it would be run at least 2 kilometers from the existing line of the former Warsaw-Vienna Railway owned by the Polish State Railways (PKP). To achieve this goal it created in 1922 the company Elektryczne Koleje Dojazdowe S.A., owned in 40% by Siła i Światło, 25% by one of the financing banks and the remaining 35% held by small shareholders. The consortium sought to build an electric railway in order to accelerate economic development and increase the demand for its services. Strangely, only Tumbleweed is available in 32-bit.The line was constructed and operated under the original name Elektryczne Koleje Dojazdowe (Electric Commuter Rail) by a privately owned electrical power industry consortium Siła i Światło (Power and Light) established with the participation of British capital shortly after Poland regained independence after World War I in 1918. Tumbleweed follows Linux kernel releases very closely. ![]() If this occurs, Tumbleweed does have tools to roll back to a previous state to avoid these issues. The fact that Tumbleweed is constantly receiving updates can also lead to problems, like workflow or tool breakage, and is generally rough around the edges. Since it is a rolling distro, there is theoretically no end of life for the version you are using. Unlike the majority of rolling distros, “Tumbleweed is updated once Factory’s bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested.” Tumbleweed undergoes a number of tests to make sure it is stable. It is based on Factory, openSUSE’s main development codebase. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on the other hand has the latest version of all software, including kernels, drivers, and desktop environments. ![]() You will need to update your system at least once a year to continue to get updates. You will also receive hardware support at a slower rate. With Leap, you will not receive the latest versions of software. Because a new revision is only released every 3 years, any workflow you put in place is relatively safe. This is because the software available is not the latest and greatest, but the most stable. ![]() It should be used for older systems and computers that needs to run for a long time without any issue. OpenSUSE Leap is stable and highly tested. The next question is, “If the underlying technology is pretty much the same, who should use either of the two options?” Let me break that down for you. With this change, Tumbleweed became an official openSUSE distribution Interestingly, according to the openSUSE End of the Year 2020 Community Survey, more people use Tumbleweed as their distro of choice. (For those unaware, 42 is a reference to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is said to be the answer to life, the universe and everything.) The current version of openSUSE Leap is 15.2. This changed in 2014 when the team behind openSUSE decided to base the next release on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. This project wasn’t a new distro, but an add-on for an existing openSUSE install. The goal was to create a “repo that is a rolling updated version of openSUSE containing the latest “stable” versions of packages for people to use”. The Tumbleweed project was announced in November of 2010 by Greg Kroah-Hartman. Going from offering one distro option to two might seem like a big leap, so let me give you a little historical background.
