The new one is out openSUSE 13.2, but that's not all that's new about SUSE. With this launch, the new rolling release from openSUSE call Tumbleweed and office will continue to be a distro for continued openSUSE development.
Where do I download openSUSE Tumbleweed from?
From the link that we leave below:
At the moment the image for Factory continues to appear in a given link, but in a few days it will be available under the name Tumbleweed. It should be noted that those who use Factory can go to Tumbleweed without reinstalling. Once installed, you have to change the repositories (once the new isos appear, they will no longer be necessary).
Go for it.
Open terminal and run as root:
mkdir /etc/zypp/repos.d/old mv /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/old zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/ tumbleweed / repo / oss repo-oss zypper ar -f -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss repo-non-oss zypper ar -f -c http: //download.opensuse. org / tumbleweed / repo / debug repo-debug zypper ar -f -d -c http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/src-oss repo-src-oss zypper ar -f -d -c http: //download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/src-non-oss repo-src-non-oss
We update the distro:
zypper dup
And ready :). They already have their Tumbleweed.

We can also add the Packman repository once the distribution is updated (recommended):
zypper ar -f -n packman-essentials http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Essentials/ packman-essentials
and update everything with:
zypper up zypper install-new-recommends zypper dup
All the best desdelinuxeros :).
A small correction.
All that you say about the different "flavors" of OpenSUSE was true until recently. Tubleweed and Factory are now the same. I don't know if the Tubleweed repositories point to Factory or the other way around.
Bringing those two branches together is a decision made by the SUSE team not long ago.
Yes, but they have reversed it since the name Tubleweed was better known. The Tubleweed project has been restructured as it happened a month and a half ago with Factory and on 4.11.2014 a new Tubleweed repo with iso included appeared. It is no longer just a repo as before. Factory will only be for raw development so it will be unstable. It's 2 days old news.

Hello friend, you know I have a question, from what I read, the version of opensuse factory would be stable, a rolling release and tumbleweed will disappear since it will be the same as opensuse factory ...
What is the difference now between factory and tumbleweed?
Hi @David Pineda,
Since November 4 the only rolling out of openSUSE is Tubleweed. Factory is intended for active development of the distro so it is not stable for daily use.
Since November 4, Tubleweed rolling was unified with Factory rolling, leaving only Tubleweed rolling and no Factory rolling.
They put it in the official announcements.
»On November 2014, XNUMX, the Factory rolling and Tumbleweed rolling versions of openSUSE were merged into a single openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling call.»
“Anyone using openSUSE Factory and openSUSE Tumbleweed prior to May 2015, 2015 should follow the instructions on this page. Tumbleweed users must do so immediately to continue receiving updates. Factory users have until May XNUMX, XNUMX to do so. "

Thanks Petercheco. Reading your comment has made all that move clearer.
Now Tumbleweed is what used to be Factory Public Test. But, Tumbleweed is still part of the Factory project, that is, it is still a not entirely stable version, so you will find some bugs. The Factory project then encompasses: Tumbleweed, Factory-to-test, openqa and all the separate projects where OpenSUSE is developed, among other things.
Jos Poortvliet and Richard Brown explained it to you well: D.
I have migrated to the Tumbleweed repository according to the instructions given here and it seems to have been stable, including the drivers for my old Nvidia graphics. The question I have is if I will be able to add the repositories that I had previously. I think that the most difficult thing to understand in SUSE is the issue of repositories and their priority. Now when it comes to installing something, it seems that it is a common repository from which downloads are made: "Open SUSE-20141102". Everything works for me with the exception of Audacious, so I plan to leave it as is. The truth is that for a newbie all this is real gibberish, but I think that for my computer the best thing was to have a Rolling Release and we will see how it behaves in the future.
Thanks for your contributions Peter and best regards
Hello, with third-party repos, you can surely install them since they all usually have their Tumbleweed or Factory branch. In general, you just have to search the web software.opensuse.com for the package you need and the repo to add will appear.
Then:
Tumbleweed = Rolling
Factory = True Rolling?
Tumbleweed = Testing
Factory = Sid
(if so it is clear already)
Thank you for enlightening me with your wisdom.
Seriously, the "to have (sic) yes (sic) thus it is clear already" is of more.
Factory is a project, not a release as such. Tumbleweed. now, it enters what would be Factory, it is the Factory version that everyone can use, since it went through several tests. Before Tumbleweed there is Factory-to-test and before several separate projects. So these projects, once stabilized, come together to form Factory-To-Test, which after the test done with OpenQA becomes Tumbleweed. It's actually a bit more complicated than this, but it's very well explained on the OpenSUSE page
And I just had to uninstall Factory and install Manjaro because systemd overloaded my temperature .. Is there a way to completely remove openSUSE the disgusting systemd and put openRC or something else?
Manjaro uses systemd…
But at least you can remove it and put openRC oo
Hi Peter:
Following your guide, right now my OpenSUSE 13.2 works OK, and at a blazing speed, with the Tumbleweed repositories.
I update in the manner described here while waiting for the final repositories.
However, in Yast> Software repositories, the following repository appears:
"OpenSUSE-20141107-Update-Non-Oss".
Could you clarify what type of repository this is and if it is a temporary and transitory repository?
Thanks for the information and greetings
Yes, this is the repository for the current branch of Tumbleweed ... They put it with release dates from the last image :).
A greeting.
