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?

    I have been using OpenSuse for over a year now, and it’s solid. Had 1 minor issue with audio crackling where i needed to restart Pulseaudio, but that’s long gone now. Highly recommend. Had regular breakages with Manjaro, so wouldn’t touch it.
