OpenSUSE is hardly what I would consider noob friendly, but it certainly beats remaining under Microsoft’s oppressing thumb.
I mean YaST is kind of snazzy, though not enough to pull me from Debian for the moment.
how do they do regular updates? how do they do major version upgrades?
I think both of these is a big pain point.
They’re fine for a stable release I think. Nvidia is on 550 for example. For Major updates, ping me next year since I’ll try it then, when new Leap arrived.
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 use it at home just because I wanted to try something different on my laptop, I really don’t understand what some people love about it so much. It’s bot terrible or anything, I just find it a bit clunky and there’s nothing remarkably good.
