Comments and Reviews
The very first time I ever experienced using Linux was with openSUSE back in mid-2006 at a friend's house whose father worked for SUSE. While I've used other distros for most of my time with Linux, SUSE is a very nice, solid distribution.
Most versions of openSUSE are quite slow in updating even the most important packages. Not good for my usage. Might be good for you...
openSUSE has currently ended my distro-hopping journey (for now)
To me, it's the perfect mix of Debian, Fedora, and Arch Linux
Two major features are YaST (GUI configuration) and pre-configured automatic snapshots (if you install with btrfs file system). If something goes wrong in an update you can easily roll back to before the update. If you can't boot, you can select a read-only snapshot to boot into and then permanently roll back from the desktop.
Only openSUSE Tumbleweed has latest updates.
openSUSE is perfect!
Has every (good) feature of Windows plus can install on more hardware and on flash drives, customize every aspect of it, takes snapshot before updating or installing software and you can boot into a previous snapshot from the boot menu, easy to set up advanced features like SSD cache or RAID, default install comes with all the software average desktop users need, the rolling release version means you get improvements and features right away without having to wait for a "patch Tuesday".
I've been using OpenSUSE and then OpenSUSE Tumbleweed every day since July 18, 2010 and it's been phenomenally reliable. I have no regrets moving to it from Windows.
