Can someone tell me if this is a bad idea and why -
I want to do regular updates, like security updates to google chrome and things like that, for all my programs and apps that are managed by non-openSUSE repositories.
Then do regular zypper dup updates for the whole system only like once a month. That way I minimize my chances of something breaking right before a critical business trip or something like that, but still keep my security up to date.
Any thoughts?
"Security" and "update once a month" don't match - in worst case, you keep a security issue for 29 days. I'd recommend to do updates more often. (I usually run zypper dup whenever new packages are available, which in some weeks means daily.) Not zypper dup'ing the day before a business trip is understandable and ok, but not updating for a month isn't the best idea IMHO. Besides that - it's a very rare event that Tumbleweed breaks, and if you use btrfs, you can easily revert to the previous state. Which is something I never had to do ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Yes Karl, your machine has a battery!
