Becouse openSUSE Leap shares the source with Suse Enterprise Linux you get a stable system to work and game on
What do you dislike about the product?
Because openSUSE Leap is built to be as stable as possible Leap sometimes doesn't have the newest version of some programs available and can be a bit hard to install.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Leap to hobby develop games with the Unreal Engine 5.
For work, I use leap to configure networks and network devices.
By using Leap I get a stable system and if I need help there is a big community that happily will help me out.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a user that wants a stable system go with Leap, but if you want the bleeding edge software try out openSUSE Tumbleweed

Good approximation to the SUSE version Enterprise with good performance
What do you like best about the product?
It is a distribution with good stability since it is based on the Linux Enterprise version that tries to offer a solution that allows the deployment of applications and servers. System maintenance and package upgrades are also made easier by using YAST.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using the distribution and configuring it requires more advanced technical skills than a normal user who wants to test the distribution, but doesn't know as much about the ecosystem of tools offered by SUSE, might have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the main features it offers developers is the use of container-based applications that have become an essential component of cloud computing. At this point, openSUSE Leap aims to be a competent solution in this area, where security updates, the presence of container platforms and orchestrators such as Docker Kubernetes stand out, as well as the possibility of being able to easily migrate a server, a virtual machine or a container.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
openSUSE Leap can be used as a staging environment to run workloads that can later be ported to SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux.
Great Linux distro.
I really love openSUSE but why can't it change from a c5a.4xlarge (for example) to another like c6g.4xlarge? I can't give you the five stars only for this.
Thank you for your great work
Standard linux distro
What do you like best about the product?
I like that openSUSE offers both GNOME and KDE environments. Unlike many Linux distros, it's also pretty accessible to the average user- the graphic-based interface makes learning it a simple affair. With Gnome, though, you also have the option of keyboard-based action, which can be significantly faster for some users. Also, it's pretty cool looking.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's only available in 64-bit these days. Sometimes I like to breathe new life into old laptops that come my way before passing them along, and I often can't use this distro for lack of hardware compatibility and support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
OpenSUSE provides a free desktop operating system. As such, it solves a number of business needs from Internet access to email to word processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are so many Linux distros that meet just about every use case. Shop around until you find the one you want. openSUSE is a great choice because it's super flexible and actively developed.
One of the best Linux distributions
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main favorable points is how easy it is to install; in just a few steps, you can enjoy this excellent operating system, to the extent that the ease of repartitioning the disk allows the user to enjoy other operating systems on the same device. Another point to consider is customization, as it includes several desktops to personalize the desktop to our liking. Additionally, it has extensive support from the community and also has support for up to 18 months from the developers. Without a doubt, one of the most stable and customizable operating systems within the Linux world.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main negative points are those that can be found in any other Linux-based distribution, such as the lack of compatibility with this system for some programs, games, and even hardware. On the other hand, prior knowledge about handling Linux-based systems is required, as this distribution is not aimed at new users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has allowed us to create safe environments for application development, considering a possible migration to this type of systems and verifying the compatibility of the applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Having knowledge of installing applications in a Linux environment is essential when managing this software, additionally it is necessary to know what this resource will be used for, home, business, or study.

The best Linux distribution
What do you like best about the product?
Its handling is very simple, its integration with KDE is excellent, and the compatibility with hardware is great, improving thanks to the inclusion of many new drivers. The support for multiprocessing in the Ext4 file system is its strong point. You can choose between several desktop environments, allowing you to select the ones that best suit our preferences.
It has a good balance for home use, as it works on practically any computer, and server in medium-sized networks, making it ideal for an SME.

It is a very stable software, it is not susceptible to viruses, we use it for the servers, the amount of resources are less that are necessary in relation to the other software, the updates have worked correctly every time they have been implemented
What do you dislike about the product?
The installation is a little complex, and there is not so much technical personnel that knows the platform, also openSUSE has a bad rap for installing a lot of bloat in the form of recommended packages, which often tend to get re-installed even if the user tries to remove them
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Yast is one of the best tools that we have used in OpenSuse, we use it for the administration of the network, and updates, we have installed third party software and the work has been very easy.
