It has a learning curve for the Graphical Package Manager, but YAST GUI is awesome. The automatic snapshots are great; if any thing you do breaks the system you just boot to w previous snapshot in the advanced boot option, then if it is allworksing as expected issue a sudo snapper rollback command to make your current snapshot the default.

That is really a good feature especially if you like to try out things, change stuff and tinker around.
What makes OpenSUSE Tumbleweed also a very interesting alternative for experienced users is the quality of a fast rolling release together with automated testing and QA, which I think no other distribution has. Together with a community which takes security serious, this gives you a both very up to date and quite secure system.
Yep, I ran Leap from 2017 till 2024 same system, updates were so stable you could depend on them. And nVidia hosts its own repo for Leap and Tumbleweed.
I moved to Tumbleweed when I changed hardware, so for the past year it’s been solid
I don’t generally recommend opensuse. The package management always made me go back to arch or debian. I would recommend trying it if you have a spare pc or space for a vm though.
That’s a poor statement to make without giving any evidence. I use both Debian and Opensuse for decades in production environments. Both have very mature package management tools. Can’t remember that they have failed me ever. Back in the days Opensuse’s early zypp had problems, but that was solved in 2008.
I got OpenSuse. I currently use bazzite and I’ve tried popOS and mint. I guess I could try it.

Well, why? Do you have concrete reasons?
