I used it for a day and went to Debian because no current VPN provider has a their proprietary package on it.
You will have to use wireguard or something alike.
Besides that, it's actually pretty solid, not a lot of packages on it though.
Also the GUI of the installer is broken, but it installs without errors.
The ISO is also almost 5GB because all desktop environments are preloaded on it, so you don't need an internet connection to download them.

something ive never knew is why is seeding important? Ive never bothered to look up why people seem to get so mad if you dont seed? 100% legit curious why its important now as i always see people make a big deal about this but never know why.

You're deluding yourself with this.
The proprietary software of any VPN will be already that what the opensource wireguard offers.
Every VPN provider allows you to use wireguard, but some explicitly state that they cannot guarantee safe operation with it.
Also remember that any VPN provider can do a little trolling and frick you over deliberately with those third party tools.
There are many distros that can be an alternative to openSUSE and there is no reason to compromise your own safety because of it.
I haven't had problems with the OS but the installer and lack of live CD are probably my least favorite things about it. It's a shame more distros don't come with something like Ubiquity.
It's a meme. It's the only distro that forces you to install some obscure, 3rd party repository to get your codecs working. You basically give root access to some random dude on the internet.
Ubuntu has codecs in Universe repository. Community maintained but managed by Canonicals employees. Fedora has codecs in RPM Fusion repository. Not official, but follow the same packaging standards as main Fedora repo and is maintained by Fedora developers. Packman is maintained by random german dude not affiliated with Opensuse project. Packman website doesn't even have english version.

but if it really is just one man operation then why is the site talking about "the packman team?"

If an update is just going to break a core service and patches don't fix it, I'm not going to trust your buggy pile of shit. Didn't even have problems before this. On par with Arch loving to break X EVERY UPDATE.
Everyone should just use Debian and quit splitting effort like Americans with a million lawns
Tried it one time and it forced k-wallet down my throat. So much for the so called best KDE distro. Decided to never touch KDE or Suse ever again after that experience.
It's memeish but it does offer some things that other distros don't: snapshotted rolling release with rollback and a GUI for system management. OBS is also AUR-like, just install OPI which is an AUR helper equivalent.
Try it in a VM. ALL these "which distro" threads are silly when you can try in a VM to find out if YOU like what each offers. If really lazy have a prebuilt:

Wireguard is not a VPN.
nordvpn does have a package for it though?

Tumbleweed is fricking amazing. I have been using it for two years now and I can't praise it enough.
>leap is too old, tumbleweerd is too new
just fricking copy fedora/ubuntu with the semi-annual release and you'd be the perfect distro
DO NOT USE IT!
OPENSUSE IS THE MOST ANTI-SEMITIC DISTRO!!!!
SUSE IS A ANTISEMITIC COMPANY!!!!

Absolutely based, now I love my Tumbleweed even more.
that sounds based as frick
especially the part in 2022 where he keeps trying to bring all that pc shit and the suse ceo blocks him.
Isn't this the same guy who said linux is basically dying?
That whole post reeks of untreated mental illness and narcissism.
Thats Lundouche in a nutshell
yast is bloat, also german secutiry(tm) is still borderline moronic
Its ok but i had a way better experience with fedora if you need rpm. And the documentation for what i needed wasnt the best.

You do realize they are just saying that due to German law right?
You are moronic
How is that different than downloading random exe on Windows homosexual?
You are even more moronic than I thought.
Because it’s open source
You add the Pacman repo, thats your codecs sorted. It's done because of licensing issues.
10 years ago it was good, I was told.
Not sure about now.
Tumbleweed is by far the most stable rolling distro, stabler than many "stable" ones. No clue about Leap.
arch is stable
The community is small enough that I wouldn't bother.
I prefer fedora.
Should I?
