OpenSuse is kind of a shit show, not to mention the weirdness with the trademark/pseudo-association it has with Suse. I've been running OpenSuse on a small production server for some years after migrating to it from CentOS. It's mostly fine, but I've had to deal with some sloppy updates breaking things, and have had to completely disable my automatic nightly backup&updates job because of an bug with the OS that no one seems to have solved yet (there's a discussion about it from a while back on their forums with multiple reports, but no resolution) . I'll be switching to Rocky or Alma next time I do major maintenance on it.
Also, unlike most distros, OpenSuse shipped the xzutils backdoor to their users. They quickly retracted it, but still. Not even Fedora did that!
EDIT: To quickly add, I don't think OpenSuse is terrible by any means, but the bar for Linux distros is quite high these days.
