I have switched to opensuse thumbleweed because i wanted rolling release destro and arch is too complicated for me i mean i gave it few hours of trying and learning but the install script kept failing so i gave up. I tried manjaro for some time but it was too bloated for me. With thumbleweed i feel like at home and yast is an amazing tool and i need to learn bit more about it and use it bit more. To me this is best rolling distro i have used and maybe the best distro ever.

I've been running on the same Tumbleweed install for almost a decade now with little issue. It's such a trusty rolling release distro. I love it!
In also a huge fan of TW, rolling yet so incredibly stable and with easy rollback out of the box
On the desktop tumbleweed. It runs perfectly and i have all the stuffs i Need. On servers microos and podman.
I'm using Tumbleweed on various desktops, but I also use Leap. I use Leap on a couple different apple machines that I have, as leap seems to play better with Apple wireless adapters (stupid Broadcom adapters).
Either way, both work well but I do prefer tumbleweed.
Tumbleweed on my gaming desktop for more customizability, Aeon on my laptop since it Just Works(tm). Pretty good balance, I think.
I use Tumbleweed both for gaming and development environment. In my opinion, it is the smoothest rolling release distribution. I used to use it via WSL2 on Windows 11. Now I have Tumbeweed instead of Windows
Recently got into OpenSUSE. I'm using Leap, 15.5 now. Had used Ubuntu in the past.
Yast seems nice.
