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.

  • 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.

 Always using OpenSuSE. For the past two years, I've used Tumbleweed, updating it frequently.
Highlights:
- Very stable and with frequent updates.
- Excellent hardware compatibility, even with new and poorly supported hardware. Most of the functionality comes from the kernel and various packages, of course, but the distribution controls how they're used, and OpenSuSE does this wonderfully.
- Zypper is the best package management tool on the market.
- Almost all packages are available.
- Updates are seamless. I run `zypper dup` whenever I remember, and it works perfectly.
- YaST is a graphical tool that allows me to configure everything: software installation, hardware, server utilities, and more.
To clarify, I've tried many distributions, always using OpenSuSE as the main one.

 I give it an 9 only because it should have a more extensive application repository to depend less on flatpak. As a rolling release distro it's great and even more so for its native integration of snapper with btrfs that saves your life in the event of a disaster due to a bad installation. I've been using it and so far I think it's just a problem understanding how the repository priorities work. I hope more project maintainers join in and participate more so that it reaches at least the average reach of aur, since applications included in other distros like doublecmd must be installed from the OBS repository, but in general if it weren't for this it would be great.

 openSUSE Tumbleweed is the absolute best rolling release distro out there. I've tried a lot of the variants of Arch and can tell you that none come even remotely close to Tumbleweek, even Fedora Rawhide is a very distant second when compared to Tumbleweed. Seriously you would never know that it was so cutting edge with how few problems you'll have. I probably wouldn't recommend it to someone new to linux but experienced users will love just how much control they have over their system configuration thanks to YaST. For newer users YaST will be a lot to take in, you can do so much with it. The down side of YaST is that it has so many functions that seem to be duplicated in other programs that it can be confusing to navigate or figure out which program to use; but once you come to terms with the fact that you just go to YaST for basically everything you'll be fine. The installation isn't bad, the installer isn't the greatest but works. The biggest issue I had was connecting a wireless printer, it took me ages to find and fix the problem, other than that I've had no issues or anything to complain about.

TLDR: Tubleweed is the best rolling release distro. Not a great distro for new users. YaST is incredible for system configuration and management.
