Hey, some of us use openSUSE. There are dozens of us!

Seriously though, Tumbleweed is a fantastic distro. If you've made the rounds between Arch, Fedora, and Debian distros and still aren't satisfied, give openSUSE a try. Some things I love:

  • rolling and stable versions - I use Leap for servers and Tumbleweed on desktop
  • openQA seems to catch breakage because breakage is very rare
  • OBS - like the AUR, but it builds your packages on their servers
  • RPM - some sites still hand out debs and rpms, so that gives you an option for certain niche software

I spent 5+ years on Arch and loved it, and I've been on Tumbleweed for longer now. It's pretty decent.
