  • 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.

Moving away from Redhat(IBM), Fedora, etc. I Decided to try open SUSE. The 15.5 (Leap) installer kept throwing "could not resolve cdn.opensuse.org" errors. Monitored my dns server and there were no requests for site. This install is going onto an HP CP3035 with no eth port. Using a USBC to eth adapter for function. I noticed the adapter would go off line periodically and re-establish DHCP. After 2 hours, the DHCP requests stopped until USBC adapter was unplugged and replugged. I never got the install completed as this process started to fail also. Going to try Tumbleweed disrto...

Been using Manjaro, MX-Linux, sometimes Linux Mint, and OpenSUSE. If you like Fluxbox X-window manager, the MX-linux is head and shoulders above anything else, because the special enhancements that the MX-linux developers have made to that. Manjaro, I've had continual issues with the package manager and various bugs and faults. Recently, the system corrupted itself simply updating and became extremely buggy and slow. Finally I threw in the towel and loaded OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I'd used OpenSUSE Leap before and wasn't too particularly happy because of lack of availability of major packages. On Tumbleweed, I find that most all package situations regarding unavailability are resolved, yet everything rock solid stable. On MX-linux, usually the MX package manager always has something wrong with it. Tumbleweed, it just works so long as you're not using Discover but the YAST provided facilities. Over the last 5 years of usage, I've been most happy with Tumbleweed. I've used the flagship KDE Plasma, and Cinnamon, and IceWM, as well as Fluxbox. Fluxbox is so customizable that I'm sure you could approach what MX-Linux developers have done with it, but out of the box it needs a lot of tweaking. I've not tried Alpine or Endeavor, nor Arch Linux.
But so far, after years of usage, the most rock solid and pleasing distro I've run into so far is definitely OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It exudes competence and solidity despite being a rolling release, and the fact it is a rolling release handles most package unavailability issues. If OpenSUSE has any sort of problem with an app, they simply don't make it available so you can avoid the system breaks and hassles. And they appear to be quite good at testing and making such evaluations and distinctions.

This is a great distribution, period.

I am running Leap on workstations, after having used Debian (and related) for many years. The switch came down to the installation of professional software which is RHEL and SEL compatible, but not Debian or Debian-based compatible. This is true for several highly specialized professional software packages, so when running a workstation, SEL and openSUSE (Leap) is almost always a better option than other distros.

The openSUSE Leap system is highly stable, and there is no update fright as with other distros, which may break down suddenly depending on which drivers and kernel versions you are running. Although apt is a great package management system, I find it gives more leeway to incur in "dangerous" system changes than zypper, which, on the other hand, seems to instill more caution to the users.

In all, I would say that common administrative tasks in openSUSE are as easy or as difficult as in Debian, but having a more granular control over the system is often more intricate and requires dedication (at least if you're coming from another distribution). That being said, openSUSE has great community support, and you can clear up almost any doubt related to the use and operation of your system in openSUSE community channels - this isn't true for many popular distros.

YaST used to be one of the defining features of SUSE Linux back in the day, and it still is. Even if KDE System Settings are top of the line and most configurations to your system will be taking place there, YaST still offers a good number of important configuration functionalities, perhaps more advanced, and easily accessible from the same UI. The equivalent tools are not always installed by default in other distros, and the ones that are, won't be as well integrated and organized as in YaST. To close on an even higher note, YaST has a CLI version which will definitely get you out of a jam at any given point.

Performance wise, openSUSE is next level. When running in a souped-up machine, everything is happening instantly, and you really feel that the OS is never bottle-necking your interaction. Even in a 12 yr old laptop, responsiveness is blazing fast, especially when considering you're benefiting from a fully featured Plasma Desktop environment.

I found installation straightforward and particularly powerful when setting up dual boots, partitioning and filesystems. Btrfs is another added bonus, working flawlessly in openSUSE, unlike with other distros.

A lot more could be said, but the bottom line for me is, openSUSE is perhaps the best distribution for the greatest number of use cases, especially when factoring in Leap and Tumbleweed flavors.
