I tried Opensuse, I didn’t like it. It sort of felt just a bit off and I think a large majority of that was Yast’s fault.
Debian and Arch based distros I think will remain my preference for some time given the recent events.
RPM just reminds me of my first experiences with Linux 20 years back. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience from what I remember and then apt came along and seemed to solve so much. It was so good and simple apt update&& apt upgrade. I’ve never been tempted to go back really as I haven’t seen the need.
I think I’m with you. I have very smart friends who swear by tumbleweed though. I’m personally using Debian bases for work, and a mix of Arch and NixOS at home.

In my case I was ecosystem’d into RPM and Flatpak, so openSUSE makes me happy

It took me a while to get used to openSUSE as well. I’ve been enjoying it though.
