From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m sad that tumbleweed wasn’t placed as „great“, what exactly is the reasoning behind that?
The ranking is based on his use case. He does media production and uses tuxedo laptops. My guess is, he just took a different path and never got deeper into Suse.
I fear so as well.. But he should, in my opinion 😂 OpenSuse TW is awesome
Does linking work? @thelinuxexperiment@tilvids.com
Linking did not work but I know him, I look nearly all his videos on YouTube (🫣) I suspect that he didn’t had time to run TW over longer time periods and thus don’t know (or better said he had not time to verify) how stable this rolling distro is. And thus can’t recommend it to everyone since rolling distro normally tend to unstableness if run by non-experience users. For me that bit of info was missing in the video
