"Over the years, I've also used Arch Linux for several desktops. Also: 8 most Windows-like Linux distros - if you're ready to ditch Microsoft Every time I install openSUSE or an Arch-based Linux distribution like Manjaro, I'm reminded just how powerful Linux can be. Each of these distributions demonstrates just how far Linux can go and what it can accomplish."
"First off, openSUSE comes in two flavors -- Tumbleweed and Leap. Leap is the stable version, while Tumbleweed is the rolling release. What's the difference? Essentially, a rolling release distribution is always up-to-date with the latest software. With a rolling release distribution, you install it once and use it forever. On the other hand, there's Leap, which is a more traditional release."
"If you've used openSUSE in the past, there's one significant change that you'll encounter: YaST (Yet Another Setup Tool) has been deprecated. Although YaST is still in Tumbleweed, it will soon be gone. In YaST's place is Cockpit, a web-based admin tool. That should tell you something about openSUSE; it's not suitable for those new to Linux. openSUSE is designed for experienced users seeking more from their operating system."
OpenSUSE and Manjaro are presented as powerful Linux distributions. OpenSUSE offers two flavors: Tumbleweed (rolling release) and Leap (stable traditional release). Rolling releases provide continual updates so users install once and receive ongoing software updates. YaST has been deprecated in favor of Cockpit, a web-based administration tool, and YaST remains only in Tumbleweed for now. OpenSUSE targets experienced users rather than Linux newcomers. OpenSUSE provides a wide choice of desktop environments including KDE, GNOME, Xfce, LXDE, LXQt, Enlightenment, Cinnamon, MATE, and Pantheon. Manjaro is an Arch-based desktop distribution. Both distributions are free to download and install.
