With openSUSE today, versus 5 years ago when I last tried it, I don't
notice any difference. Using KDE. There's a Discover Software Center
now. 

That's from a USER's perspective, of course.

I care fuck all what the internet, toasters, run on ;)

I still like this Linux distro though, and strongly advocate that people
try it.... or not :)
