This is good advice to hear :)
Would something like a warning when running 'zypper up' on tumbleweed
be useful? (even if its an alias of some kind). I had never heard of
this recommendation before today and I am guessing that probably am
not the only one.
I'm guessing its probably in opensuse documentation somewhere, but
that's easy to miss as a new user.

[09-15-17 07:19]: Did you happen to save the journal at least before reverting? I thought logs were kept on a partition which is not rolled back?
how did you to the upgrade? Tell me you did use 'zypper dup' please - it's the only valid way
Ah, I feel silly now. I didnt realise this was actually the case. Will try this out and see how it goes. I'll try get details from the journal if it fails again too. Is there any particular data that I should be looking for?
On a slightly separate discussion, is there any way to prevent users from running 'zypper up' rather than 'zypper up' for cases like these? I feel like this is an easy to mistake to make if you are unaware or new to the distro.
yes, if you run Tw, you use "dup" not up. has been the case and recommendation for the history of Tw and before.
it is possible to use "up" in particular situations when you *really* know that it is necessary.
simple answer: for Tw *always* use "zypper dup"
