I have been using Mint for about six months now and while I am not going to start distro hopping, I slowly want to start exploring the rest of Linux.

Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding OpenSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

    I've used Tumbleweed for round about a year and i am very happy with it. Ended my distro hopping, after i tried fedora, mint, kde neon and ubuntu.

    I'd say im more of a casual user, so i didn't need some special software yet. After a bit of setup things like browsing, watching videos, gaming and so on just work. Because im relatively new to linux im still not used to the terminal, i only know some basic commands, so yast is very welcomed here :)

    Like i said, it ended my distro hopping - i like tumbleweed!
