Why is firefox one version 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

<span style="color:#323232;">$ toolbox create --image quay.io/toolbx-images/opensuse-toolbox:tumbleweed
</span><span style="color:#323232;">$ toolbox enter opensuse-toolbox-tumbleweed
</span>

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.
