The openSUSE project offers everyone interested in getting started with Linux everything they need with two different distributions. One is rolling (Tumbleweed) and the other is fixed (Leap).
Why openSUSE and why Tumbleweed?
Its code base is Enterprise (from SUSE Linux Enterprise to be precise). So there is a solid foundation for the openSUSE project community to build on and full support for the distribution running at different speeds using an unprecedented technology.
Red Hat and Canonical have free distributions aimed at all CentOS and Ubuntu respectively. SUSE did not have anything similar, until the release of the Leap version.

The upcoming version of openSUSE Leap catching up in the final version. During the duration of its development cycle, the openSUSE Leap distribution, in version 15.2, is updated as a rolling platform instead of releasing alpha and beta snapshots.
“Bugs are fixed and new packages are introduced or excluded. Snapshots of the latest beta phases will be released as soon as they pass openQA testing. After the release of the gold master, the rolling development model will stop and be updated with the maintenance patches and security updates appropriate for the second version of the Leap 15” series.
Upgrade from openSUSE Leap to Tumbleweed
The final version of openSUSE 15.2 is expected to be released on May 7, 2020.
