Opensuse Leap is it's own Distribution(that is sharing a lot with SUSE Enterprise Linux) and there is not much to write about in the time between the releases. Other Distributions that are not just Ubuntu with some changes get covered when they release a alpha too.
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...TS-Development and the Beta get a post as always. I don't even see a Alpha there. Seems more like the development is running till beta/feature freeze https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy...schedule/23906

Really, people should read a bit before posting.
openSUSE has a perfect way to combine a very stable distro with more up-to-date packages where it matters for some needs:
- Need a more recent kernel?
- Want to use the latest GUI?
- Your job requires recent tools?
- Multimedia?
And there are many other curated packages for your needs, just dig a bit before complaining.
So, no, openSUSE Leap is not like other long term, stable, distro. For most things, I even prefer it over Tumbleweed.
Cheers.

Using distribution with KDE beta as good idea? Both Argon and Krypton are more focused on testers and KDE developers, than mainstream audience
and it mostly uses only KDE RC, not Beta!
So far it's been rock-solid

I still use - sometimes - 15.2 because of the many issues with 15.3. I expect 15.4 is not much better.
Can't even run a 4K monitor on 15.2.
Tumbleweed is another matter, which is indeed a rolling release - maybe a little to often rolling - and functions 99.8% of the time satisfactory.
I am still looking for a second and different Linux installment on my system, since the Leap series are just too old and too laden with issues.
This merging of OpenSUSE Leap packages with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is something no OpenSUSE user ever wanted and it's killed the distro. So much for the "independence from SUSE" that the distro used to tout when I first started using it in 2010.
