Interesting.
I've never had much luck with OpenSuse or Fedora for that matter.
I found Yast to be confusing, at least for me.
With Fedora it seemed like I had to research getting things to work
for me more than I should have to. 
For the longest time I've been using MXLinux and it's been fine.
Recently I revisited linuxMint, this version Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon,
and it's much improved. In fact I'm testing it now and at this point will
move from MXLinux to linuxmint assuming I don't uncover any serious to me bugs.
It's good to have choice.
