I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times here. If not answered at least discussed to death. But I've not followed much of those discussions, and am now planning on upgrading my 13.2 install to a new one.
Obvious question is, which one?
I run two boxes, one as a server and the other just a desktop. I'm upgrading the server first as there is currently no services on it I depend on (I need to start rebuilding that so hence the upgrade). Nothing here is mission critical, just hobbyist type stuff. My experience with openSuse in the past is after taking some time setting up a server, that will run about 2 years with updates, then (not doing upgrades), having to re-install the newer openSuse from scratch then re-building all the server parts. This can be and is a pain.
My feeling right now is to try Tumbleweed as I think it will keep updating itself, and I won't need to do an complete reinstall from time to time. That is a big factor to me, as long as it keeps running.
I don't normally run proprietary video or other drivers, just plain Jane oS drivers.
Considering my situation as being not mission critical, other than not wanting to lose data files etc, is there any reason not to go with Tumbleweed on this?
Thanks for any input.

Leap for the server. Just get all the services that it's supposed to be serving. Then again, my own (cloud)server runs TW, and has been doing so for ~18 months. Both Leap and TW are QA tested, nothing gets released out in the open that fails those tests. IMHO both are valid options, it's more a matter of personal preference. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
