To be fair, OpenSuse is an umbrella of multiple distros other than Debian and Arch. There are
- Leap (Stable, binary-compatible to SLES)
- Tumbleweed (Rolling)
- Slowroll (Rolling but slower, duh)
- Aeon (Immutable w/ Gnome)
- Kalpa (Immutable w/ KDE)
- Factory (unstable)
- MicroOS (Immutable for Server)
- Leap Micro (Immutable, binary-compatible to SLES)
And then of course the whole Enterprise stuff around SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server). There’s definitely a need to specify what “OpenSuse” actually means in any given context. 😅
I agree though, it’s god damn great. The bootable btrfs snapshots that are set up by default in particular.
There’s also an additional middleground between them, Slowroll. Still a rolling distro but slower with feature updates for additional stability.
Leap tends to be rather outdated as it keeps binary-compatibility to SLES. Of course makes it as stable as possible, but also more often than not uncomfortably lacking behind.
