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?

    Any LTS is good for reliability. RHEL clones are pretty good just depends on what someone is looking for.

    Edit:
    For an actual reason, mainly for the length of the LTS as rocky and alma I believe have a 10 year LTS while Debian have a 5/6 year LTS (sorry if that’s wrong, haven’t checked the length of the LTS in a while)
