Imo the best European (specifically German) made OS is OpenSUSE. Its Sway spin is the definition of functionality above form, nearly all tools are designed with that in mind and it comes with good defaults out of the box. Granted it also looks amazing if not a tad dated, the unified design and color language however is nice even if that color is green. Also consider donating to the FSFE rather than the FSF.
I worked with opensuse back in the day on a collaborative Linux effort. What.a.trip.
Wow I hope it works for you and works well. Me, I've seen behind the curtain.
What's wrong? I'm very happy with it
Hell yeah, OpenMeSussy is so great!
Tumbleweed (a rolling release) is so stable I switched my friends & family to it prob 5+ years ago, now I only have to do any maintenance when switching hardware.
OpenSuse is kind of a shit show, not to mention the weirdness with the trademark/pseudo-association it has with Suse. I've been running OpenSuse on a small production server for some years after migrating to it from CentOS. It's mostly fine, but I've had to deal with some sloppy updates breaking things, and have had to completely disable my automatic nightly backup&updates job because of an bug with the OS that no one seems to have solved yet (there's a discussion about it from a while back on their forums with multiple reports, but no resolution) . I'll be switching to Rocky or Alma next time I do major maintenance on it.
Also, unlike most distros, OpenSuse shipped the xzutils backdoor to their users. They quickly retracted it, but still. Not even Fedora did that!
EDIT: To quickly add, I don't think OpenSuse is terrible by any means, but the bar for Linux distros is quite high these days.
