Except openSUSE. Fuck that, it breaks with the smallest thing and is just odd. But this was like 5y ago on Tumbleweed, so maybe it’s changed.
No way! Opensuse has always been perfect for me, I do usually use leap though.
I believe you, given how many people love it. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime. I love its KDE for some reason (and the boot animation beats other distros easily).
I always end back up on leap when all the other distros piss me off, and I always wonder why I even bothered with anything else. It just works for me.
It is one of the best KDE distros, the yast config took is brilliant, the installer is great, it has fast servers in Europe (fedora installs and updates are way slower for me) and on top of all that it has a cool and instantly recognisable logo.
The only real nagative in my experience of opensuse is the long install times.
I am a pretty simple user though, I only really use Firefox and Emacs.
Coming from Arch deviates and Fedora, i feel like they have really nice tools to repair anything going wrong. Maybe it was a big problem 5 years ago, but it looks like they worked hard on it and now they are ahead of anyone else in terms of getting on the right path again after breaking something.
Having Yast as a system administration GUI is also nice, as i don’t have to google my way through countless configuration files all over the system figuring out what goes wrong.
I used tumbleweed for about an year with no problems. The installer was a bit different and not much user friendly but it had a lot of options that i wanted.
I don’t know how it was 5 years ago, but these days I think it’s doing pretty good. I’d consider it over fedora if I need a rolling release distro.
