I have been using Mint for about six months now and while I am not going to start distro hopping, I slowly want to start exploring the rest of Linux.

Originally I was looking at Arch based distros such as Manjaro and EndeavourOS, during which I found out Manjaro is somewhat pointless because you pretty much should not use the AUR on Manjaro or else you will break the system inevitably. EndeavourOS looked solid though.

However, I got a few suggestions regarding OpenSuSE Tumbleweed as a better alternative to Arch based distros and just wanted to know what are the pros and cons of OpenSuSE compared to Arch based distros from your experience?

    The best shit ever. I had one 2 occasions where it broke, 1 was zypper package manager gone and the other while was while updating and I ran out of memory (my fault). A quick zypper Snapshot restore and back in business.

    Usually you get ~300 updates per week and on rare occasions ~2500 (happened to me twice). It never broke.

    Rock solid German engineering. Highly recommend it.
