I've only meddled with openSUSE a little bit but I suspect it's due to several reasons. Firstly, perhaps the lack of marketing. You hear news about Ubuntu and Fedora and NixOS and stuff, but never really about openSUSE, I think? Maybe they do promotions but I don't know about them that much. As you said, they do a lot of stuff but in the background. Perhaps they're really more of a technical distribution, for sysadmins and some users?
They often tend to sell it as a distribution for developers. for some reason. I don't write much code any more and just use it (tumbleweed) as my main system for general use. I never really noticed it being any different from any other operating system. You just install whatever you need. In my case, I take notes, edit photos, play games from Steam, and do the usual Internet stuff. Mostly what most users do.
I see. Yea, someone I know has used Tumbleweed before and it seems fine. Stable and solid. Just out of curiosity, what Steam games do you play? Do you use Proton?
If you run steam in Linux, you're using proton.
Currently, I play Deep Rock Galactic, Insurgency Sandstorm, Cyberpunk, sometimes Squad, but I haven't had the time for a while.
Games I have to catch up with Generation Zero, Disco Elysium.
All of those work without much fuss.
What's your machine?
The current one is a Ryzen 9 3900X with a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti running OpenSuSE Tumbleweed.
I see! Sounds fun. Maybe I'll switch to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Just maybe.
