Last Update: 2025-10-25 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.

I have been using openSUSE Tumbleweed as my primary operating system for several months now, and it has undeniably proven to be one of the best, if not the best, Linux distribution currently available. I initially approached a rolling release with some caution, expecting occasional breakage, but Tumbleweed has been remarkably stable. It manages to deliver the absolute latest versions of all major applications and components—the "bleeding edge"—while maintaining a robust and dependable system.

The core strength of Tumbleweed lies in its rigorous testing framework, openQA, which ensures that updates are thoroughly vetted before they hit the user's machine. This is a massive reassurance, and the results speak for themselves: I have yet to encounter a single system-breaking issue. Even when major changes roll out, the process is smooth and reliable.

Furthermore, the integration of Btrfs and Snapper is a killer feature that gives me immense peace of mind. The ability to automatically take system snapshots before an update and easily roll back to a known-good state via the GRUB menu provides a safety net that is unmatched by most other distributions. It transforms the experience of using a rolling release from a high-wire act into a confident, stress-free routine.

I am continually impressed by the openSUSE project's commitment to variety and quality across its editions. The sheer number of choices, from the stable, enterprise-aligned Leap to the specialized immutable options like Aeon and Kalpa, means there is an openSUSE variant perfectly suited for virtually any user or use case. This comprehensive and well-supported ecosystem is a testament to the community's dedication. For any user seeking the latest software without sacrificing stability, openSUSE Tumbleweed is an easy recommendation and truly a stellar Linux experience.

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!

Using Opensuse since 2001, back then named SuSE 7.3, this is my "Stable/Base" distro, because I like to distrohop for fun, mostly triple bootin my laptops...
Installing was and is soo easy, starting with SuSE 8.0 the Yast installer is still one of the main reasons of me using opensuse.
The installer asks you a few questions and the defaults are always spot on. you can select one DE during installation.
At any time you can add any DE you like, no additional repos required. Software can be added via the cli (zypper) or Yast (yet another installer).
The installer defaults to btrfs, which is very much appreciated by me, especially the rollback function. The Grub (or other bootloader) functionality is baked into Yast, so no fiddling with cli. After working for 20y with heterogenous Installations (Linux, win..,Apple) I appreciate any admin/user support out of the box, hence all my Linux installation run OpenSuse.
Multimedia support is great and most of my Steam clients (ok, one Manjaro) run on Opensuse.
After using Opensue for so long I might be biased, but all my friends and family which i switched to Linux 1.never look back to win... 2.Super happy of not needing to hunt for the right antivirus.
