Is still fun! There is Tumbleweed, a full rolling distribution (all packages with its own update cadence, and OBS fully building the dependencies that are impacted). There is also MicroOS, a transactional OS (BtrFS subvolumes for rootfs are read-only, and the update happens in the snapshot that will be activated after the reboot, providing a self-healing system when an upgrade does not affect the running environment)

Also Leap, but this is indeed boring (15.3 will be based fully in SLE binaries)

What goes around, comes around - I am writing this comment on a laptop running Tumbleweed, with another one running Leap 15.2 sitting next to me.

Coming back to Suse was a bit like coming home. (-:

Oh that's so true, i started with 7.2 or .1, but never worked well, so i switched to mandrake, then a ~decade Debian, and now back (about 2years ago) to OpenSuse Leap (but with XFS as / and just on the laptop) everything else FreeBSD.

It really feels like there is a Suse renaissance happening. MicroOS is particularly interesting.

I wish them nothing but success, now that IBM has RHEL, maybe SLES will get new attention.
