You asked for bleeding edge by running TW. If you prefer stability, run Leap.
while the "perception" of "stability" is as you state, it is undeserved. Tumbleweed has performed admirably for many years for me and I have seen many more posts of problems related to "stability" and/or expectations of Leap versions.
"Stability" appears more related to the user's choice of repositories and inexperience than the standard repo's application offerings. I cannot remember the last system hang I experienced.
Stability is not only "not hanging" (entire machine or a part of it), but about configuration of "things" not changing. It is about things that worked not being changed and as a consequence a feature not working, or the thing not working entirely - either because of breakage or because it needs adapting the configuration. TW doesn't have that stability, by definition. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
