Back in July was the announcement of openSUSE Factory turning more into a rolling-release distribution and now we have some hard numbers to look at the popularity of that change.

OpenSUSE News published numbers about usage of openSUSE Factory and Tumbleweed. Measuring their adoption was done by looking at the number of unique UUIDs each month accessing the repositories.

OpenSUSE Factory only had around 2,000 users at the end of June but by the end of August was at nearly 6,000. Meanwhile, there's also just under 6,000 users of openSUSE Tumbleweed. The openSUSE community appears happy with these numbers and they're still working on making openSUSE Factory a better platform for users and developers.
