I have been using Mint for about six months now and while I am not going to start distro hopping, I slowly want to start exploring the rest of Linux.

Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding OpenSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

    What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

    I distro hopped a lot.

    Mained Manjaro for a while… but now that I’ve found OpenSUSE, I’m not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

    Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE “Kalpa” installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

    I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.
