openSUSE (IPA: oʊpənˈsuːzə) is a project that serves to promote the use of free and open-source software.

openSUSE is well known for its Linux distributions, mainly Tumbleweed, a tested rolling release, and Leap, a distribution with long-term support.

What's everyone using?

I'm running Tumbleweed, personally. I like the rolling release model, I think it supports my use case better than point releases. And OpenSUSE has the smoothest, most pleasant rolling release available IMO.

I've been running on the same Tumbleweed install for almost a decade now with little issue. It's such a trusty rolling release distro. I love it!

I have switched to opensuse thumbleweed because i wanted rolling release destro and arch is too complicated for me i mean i gave it few hours of trying and learning but the install script kept failing so i gave up. I tried manjaro for some time but it was too bloated for me. With thumbleweed i feel like at home and yast is an amazing tool and i need to learn bit more about it and use it bit more. To me this is best rolling distro i have used and maybe the best distro ever.

I'm using Tumbleweed on various desktops, but I also use Leap. I use Leap on a couple different apple machines that I have, as leap seems to play better with Apple wireless adapters (stupid Broadcom adapters).

Either way, both work well but I do prefer tumbleweed.

Recently got into OpenSUSE. I'm using Leap, 15.5 now. Had used Ubuntu in the past.

In also a huge fan of TW, rolling yet so incredibly stable and with easy rollback out of the box

Tumbleweed on my gaming desktop for more customizability, Aeon on my laptop since it Just Works(tm). Pretty good balance, I think.

I use Tumbleweed both for gaming and development environment. In my opinion, it is the smoothest rolling release distribution. I used to use it via WSL2 on Windows 11. Now I have Tumbeweed instead of Windows
