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!

    MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image

    They don’t. They update with regular packages. The updates are atomic though and are only applied at next boot, so there’s less of a risk of weird breakages.

      Thank you for the correction. I totally did not notice that.
