The copy writing in this is atrocious. Ironically, Microsoft Word would have caught several of the errors and confusing statements I saw.
Remember folks—editors are your friends. Pay a modest fee and make your public statements sound as good as you think they do with your wall-eyed author’s mind’s eye.
openSUSE has some very good automated QA via OBS, too, so their rolling release (Tumbleweed) is more stable than you might expect.
Software versions will mostly be more up to date. Particularly if you use Tumbleweed. It is one of the best rolling release desktop oriented distros out there. There are also the one click installs on OBS (Open Build System) that make it very simple to install software that is either newer or not in the repos at all.
It has an "enterprise" cousin SUSE Enterprise Linux that you can use if you ever need that level of support for things like Oracle, SAP, etc.
It's no YaST but it's pretty decent.
Debian is always way too behind the times.
Even in unstable.
