Recently started using openSUSE Tumbleweed after 15 years of on and off Linux experimentation. I think I’ve finally found the distro to make me stay. :)

I've recently switched from Debian to openSUSE Tumbleweed (edit: with KDE) and am extremely impressed, it's just so polished. German engineering at its finest.
arch, rhel, opensuse/fedora
Why is everybody so shy about liking Fedora? You don't have to name lesser distro's first to make them feel good, you can just outright say Fedora is the best....
Joking. Whatever floats your boat is fine.
It isn't so much that fedora is the best distro, just that all the other distros are worse.
Using it is just common sense, not something anybody would feel proud about.
This is basically my view as a Fedora user.
@wzl my top distros are arch & gentoo, i use arch for desktop and gentoo for my server
i've a gentoo install for a raspberry when raspbian (now raspberry os) didn't have support for aarch64 binaries in their repos, but beside that it is fun to customize your install using portage
For a purist like me, arch IS the best distro.
However, best for me doesn't mean best for thee.
Vanilla Ubuntu (boo! hiss!). It gets the job done and is out of the box usable with easy flatpak installs. It is 2025, there is no need to tinker with a desktop distro unless you're deploying on ancient or exotic hardware.
Hardware isn't the only thing worth tinkering though. Coonfigur coonfiguring DE and WMs might actually be more productive and efficient in doing things
I’ve used Arch for years now but I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed to a friend recently
I have a computer using Windows because it needed a windows store app and the drm on those thwarted my attempts on Linux
