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.

Using the flatpak is the right answer. Seriously though flatpaks are separate from the base system so this isn't an issue.
The bigger issue is that you are running tumbleweed on a production critical machine. If you want to run it on a personal machine that isn't critical that's fine but for production stick with well tested. Things will break and its best to stick with slow and stable. Think Linux Mint or Debian with Flatpak apps.
Please don't listen to this response. Its as outdated as mentioned distributions.
It isn't outdated Tumbleweed isn't designed to be a stable system because it is frequently updated.
It is designed to be stable in spite of being regularly updated.
