Doug, as an aside (and no offense meant), IMO you would happier with Leap than TW: "Tumbleweed appeals to Power Users, Software Developers, and openSUSE Contributors"; it is "bleeding edge.".
Sorry Dennis, but with all due respect, this is incorrect information.
Sorry Atri, but it is official information. He took it from our main web page, almost verbatim. Just google for «"Tumbleweed appeals to Power Users"» with quotes and you find it: +++......... www.opensuse.org Tumbleweed appeals to Power Users, Software Developers and openSUSE Contributors. If you require the latest software stacks and Integrated Development Environment or need a stable platform closest to bleeding edge Linux, Tumbleweed is the best choice for you. .........++-
Specific to Doug's case, he would face the exact same problems if he were to change to Leap 15.2 today, namely: no artha; even older versions of gutenprint drivers than on TW; installing non-free (and probably illegally distributed) master-pdf-editor from some random OBS repository; etc.
The search page still lists Artha for 15.2. If it has been removed and the search has not yet updated, I do not know. As for gutenprint, 15.1 has the same version as TW on the printing repo. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
