I have heard that for a long time, but lately since the Red Hat and RHEL thing happened I have heard it more.

I’ve never given OpenSuse a try, not really because I don’t like it or anything just because I’ve been fine with my current distro, but I’ve been thinking about it and I’ll possibly install it in a VM and if I like it I’ll install it on my personal machine.

The only thing that really concerns me are the Nvidia proprietary drivers, they are installed during the installation when it detects my hardware or I have to install them manually?

Edit: After a while playing with the VM I decided to install it on my PC and my goodness, it’s great! Among the things to highlight, I find it incredible that they have things like Yuzu or RPCS3 in their available repositories, in my previous distro I had to use flatpak for that or appimages and many times those programs did not recognize my GPU (possibly because I used Wayland). I also love that it has apparmor installed by default and even that I can access snapshots from grub!

    I update it every now and then, basically when I feel like it. Sometimes it’s day or two apart, sometimes it’s after month or even more. For rolling distro I’d say it’s incredibly stable. And even if something breaks (and with my lack of proper skills it happens) there’s easy fix with automatic snapper snapshots. It never really broke on me and I’m running it for two and half years (being my first linux as main OS). I really can’t recommend it enough.

      Thanks, I’ll try it on a laptop. I knew my way around Linux pretty well a long time ago, but when you mess up your package manager, I’m not sure if I’ll always find my way out again, haha. Not ideal for a desktop or gaming machine. Also, I sometimes like automatic updates. Not sure if that’s a great idea on a rolling release.
