I recently took OpenSUSE for a spin. Looks like a polished distribution with a lot going for it. Unfortunately, some of the packages I needed weren't there (not going to say which ones, to avoid going down that rabbit hole) but they were available for Debian, Fedora, and Arch. You're on your own when compiling software, so I moved on.

Did you look on https://software.opensuse.org/ ? There's a large community of packagers and lots of software is not in the main repo but still readily available and just as easy to install.

I'd be very curious to know what are those packages. But this is not surprising, OpenSUSE is less popular than Debian, Fedora and Arch.
