First, let me be clear up front that I’m not promoting the idea that there should be one “universal” Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there’s lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?

Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!

    Only community distro that has a fully a path to fully FOSS commercially supported Linux (no proprietary package repo like Ubuntu with snap, no EULA limiting your 4 software freedoms ala Redhat).
