So far so good. I like the look and feel of the KDE environment. Only issue I have had was me being to lazy to read. System freeze during video playback. Easy fix, install video drivers.

Everything else is great.

Thanks!

I have been using various OSes, from Windows to MacOS and finally (and definitely I think) Linux (Ubuntu and some of its derivatives). My first impression after having begonnen with openSUSE was Wow!!! I was totally impressed with how gut, stable and reliable this OS was.
Being a normal user, I was able to find every application I wanted to fulfill all my needs. Getting used to it was simple and I was able to find a solution online for every issue I had as a beginner. Furthermore, this OS gives me a great sense of security as I work online.
Having begonnen with Leap 42.3, I find Leap 15 a great step forward in the sense of stability, security and (why not) fun.
I find KDE beautiful, but the kombination with openSUSE makes it possible to take the best of it.
It is a pity that the people behind openSUSE appreciate the publicity so little.
