First, let me be clear up front that I’m not promoting the idea that there should be one “universal” Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there’s lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.
Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?
Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!
Automated package testing before each update rolls out to users.
In the event that an update does break your system, you can roll back to the last snapshot from the grub menu (using the smart btrfs setup that is the installation default).
Also generally, maintained by very smart people, community is not toxic, corporate overlords more benign than most, IMO.
