Current: $ uname -a Linux valkyrie 4.11.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 5 18:23:08 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux Haven't tried TW, but over the course of the 6 year with the server at home, only significant user-interaction required was in the libc update a few years ago when Arch switched from /bin to /usr/bin and /lib to /usr/lib, etc... Other than that, it has been seamless. For the last daily driver update from 13.1 -> Leap 42.2 -- I just did a complete reinstall for version update. Never had any problems doing it that way (other than a few yast installer/dependency hiccups) and the time you have to set-aside to do it. No complaints with Leap at all. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
