I have heard that for a long time, but lately since the Red Hat and RHEL thing happened I have heard it more.
I’ve never given OpenSuse a try, not really because I don’t like it or anything just because I’ve been fine with my current distro, but I’ve been thinking about it and I’ll possibly install it in a VM and if I like it I’ll install it on my personal machine.
The only thing that really concerns me are the Nvidia proprietary drivers, they are installed during the installation when it detects my hardware or I have to install them manually?
Edit: After a while playing with the VM I decided to install it on my PC and my goodness, it’s great! Among the things to highlight, I find it incredible that they have things like Yuzu or RPCS3 in their available repositories, in my previous distro I had to use flatpak for that or appimages and many times those programs did not recognize my GPU (possibly because I used Wayland). I also love that it has apparmor installed by default and even that I can access snapshots from grub!
I really don’t like KDE. I know it’s all user preference by an xfce and cinnamon guy.
I main cinnamint, but I also love plasma.
Curious cause I love KDE and cinnamon is my second (I’m only out of contact because of Wayland support) For me they fill similar needs.
If I am to be honest I haven’t played with KDE in a little over 15 years. Maybe I should try it again for the first time?
I tend to see cinnamon as a simpler kde, it feels a lot like the defaults of kde, if you enjoy having thousands of ui options from ordering the icons in your program toolbars to selecting conditional window sizes and placement on opening then kde will meet your needs otherwise it’s a little overkill for standard computing
