EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed KDE is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command sudo zypper dup and you will always get the latest packages/kernels. The ISO file is of 3790 MB. The system will thus run very fast from a DVD or a USB stick. Even in VirtualBox/VMware directly from the ISO file.
