    OpenSUSE is hardly what I would consider noob friendly, but it certainly beats remaining under Microsoft’s oppressing thumb.

      opensuse was my shortest experiment when i used to distro hop because of how old their software seemed to be. (ie old like debian stable).

      this was almost 20 years; has it gotten better?

        My first experiment with openSUSE was also not ended well back then but nowadays it’s in my top 3 list when I’m suggesting distros to people.

          same here; but only because of the support like red hat’s and canonical’s

            I’ve tried it a few times over the years, but always find it clunky when coming from Fedora, so I end up jumping right back. It’s also a real shitshow with my System 76 laptop WiFi, just doesn’t play nice and takes to much work to make it functional.
