openSUSE honestly is so criminally underrated. I've been using Tumbleweed for a few years for my dev/work systems and YaST is just great. Also that they ship fully tested images for their rolling release is just so much saner. OBS is another fantastic tool that I see so few people talking about, despite software distribution still being such a sore point in the linux ecosystem.

>openSUSE honestly is so criminally underrated

Because it's not very popular in the US which has mostly cemented around fedora/ubuntu/arch so you don't hear much about any other distros, and most other countries around the world tend to just adopt what they learn from the US, due to the massively influential gravitational field the US has on the tech field.

But in the german speaking world many know about it. It's a shame that despite the internet being relatively borderless it's still quite insular and divided. I'm not a native german speaker but it helps to know it since there's a lot of good linux content out there that's written in german.
