Why openSUSE? (reddthat.com)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by Telorand@reddthat.com to c/linux@programming.dev
 

First, let me be clear up front that I'm not promoting the idea that there should be one "universal" Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there's lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?

Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!

It worked the best for me in a VM, when I was giving it a trial. Not that the others were bad by any stretch (I have Bazzite on an older laptop and love it), but it was almost like it was meant to be there.

From some of the other answers here, I might have to look into it some more as a candidate to replace my current Windows install
