Happy 18th Birthday to openSUSE! It’s that time of the year once again where we will raise our virtual glasses and celebrate the remarkable journey of open-s...
I used OpenSUSE for a few months, both Leap and Tumbleweed, and the system itself was mostly snappy and stable, overall a pretty solid distro. My one real pain point using it was that I somewhat frequently ran into the problems of either dependency hell or update de-syncs between the main repos and Packman (which I needed due to not shipping with codecs I needed). That said, it surprises me that OpenSUSE doesn't get more attention as a stable, high quality distro. They're content to do their own thing, and they do it well.
This is the same reason why I don't use opensuse or fedora. Tried it out on an older machine and the dependency issues due to using packman/rpmfusion packages for media codecs really bugged me. Which is a shame considering how good the rest of the experience using opensuse is.
Also I have endeavourOS setup to my liking on my current device and I do not want to go through all that again.
