## In brief

- openSUSE Tumbleweed is preparing to replace the YaST installer with the Agama installer.
- openSUSE Leap already uses Agama, which was developed by SUSE engineers.
- Tumbleweed is a rolling-release distribution, so the change will reach users through regular updates.

## Why it matters

Developers and admins who install Tumbleweed or rely on YaST's installer workflow should expect a different installer once the transition lands.
