Last Update: 2025-11-10 19:20 UTC


The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by SUSE Linux and other companies. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, this program provides free, easy access to openSUSE, a complete Linux distribution. The openSUSE project has three main goals: make openSUSE the easiest Linux for anyone to obtain and the most widely used Linux distribution; leverage open source collaboration to make openSUSE the world's most usable Linux distribution and desktop environment for new and experienced Linux users; dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSUSE the platform of choice for Linux developers and software vendors.

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

top distro linux for pc and gaming
KDE Plasma on Tumbleweed feels first-class. Wayland is smooth on my hardware, PipeWire behaves, and the desktop lands polished rather than experimental. Packman plus a quick vendor switch solves codecs, and Flatpak fills gaps without polluting the base. Development tools arrive fast—GCC, Clang, Rust, Python—so I’m never stuck waiting for a compiler or library. .
In short, Tumbleweed is modern, recoverable, and refreshingly boring in the best way. It lets me live on the latest stack while keeping my weekends free. That’s why I recommend it to power users, curious newcomers, and anyone who values new features without routine breakage. It just keeps working.

OpenSuse Leap 16

No Thanks i will stay with 15.6 for now.

Agama installer does not work with network installer, got stuck at configuring stage.
so downloaded full image and install was a success.
but the system is very unstable, KDE plasma works fine but someting wrong with internal system.
multimedia does not work, NO YAST.
unable to install NON GUI SW from Discover.
Myrln and Myrln as root does not work either, apply/accept option is greyed out.
only flatpak works.

every opensuse things does not work.
not sure how this was passed to us as Stable system.

KDE/ firefox/ flatpak works as usual.
core system does not work, suse team has not done any work and just packed and shipped.

bogus Distro!

openSUSE Tumbleweed has been my daily driver because it gives me a bleeding-edge stack without the drama. I get new kernels, Mesa, and Plasma quickly, yet snapshots and openQA keep things sane. My routine is simple: zypper dup, reboot if the kernel jumps, and carry on. If something ever feels off, Snapper takes me back in minutes.

KDE Plasma on Tumbleweed feels first-class. Wayland is smooth on my hardware, PipeWire behaves, and the desktop lands polished rather than experimental. Packman plus a quick vendor switch solves codecs, and Flatpak fills gaps without polluting the base. Development tools arrive fast—GCC, Clang, Rust, Python—so I’m never stuck waiting for a compiler or library.

What I appreciate most is confidence. Rolling releases usually mean babysitting; Tumbleweed feels disciplined. YaST covers deep system work, zypper is honest and fast, and Btrfs lets me experiment without fear. Gaming on AMD is straightforward, firmware updates through fwupd are routine, and even big transitions feel predictable.

It’s not flawless. NVIDIA users will sometimes chase driver versions, and multimedia requires that one-time Packman step. It’s also not immutable; if you want transactional updates by design, look at MicroOS or Aeon. But for a classic rolling distro with real safety nets, this balance is ideal.

In short, Tumbleweed is modern, recoverable, and refreshingly boring in the best way. It lets me live on the latest stack while keeping my weekends free. That’s why I recommend it to power users, curious newcomers, and anyone who values new features without routine breakage. It just keeps working.
