> A good CentOS replacement for those still looking. Unless your company requires you to use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-endpoint-linux?view=o365-worldwide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defe...), which is supported on RHEL, CentOS, SLES, and a few others, but not openSUSE ("distributions [...] that are not explicitly listed are unsupported, even if they are derived from the officially supported distributions").

Leap 15.3 is build on SLES, and if you need support from Microsoft, you have lost already...not to mention a IT-Department who installs a Antivirus on a Linux endpoint...and probably forgot about the HID.

  I have always wondered how Microsoft and McAfee convinced people to install their stuff on linux servers ! What do they actually do, other than actually increasing attack vectors?

    >actually increasing attack vectors That's the main-point of having a Antivirus :-) But if one needs to check for (windows) virus's do it on the file-server/email-server level and not on the linux endpoint, use something like selinux and a host intrusion detection system instead, it's just a waste of money and power to use a antivirus...even on a good maintained windows.

Yes, as a 10-year user of Tumbleweed, generally OpenSUSE is left behind when it comes to downloading binary packages from first-party sources. Even for the Microsoft software that "supports" OpenSUSE, historically that support was by expecting OpenSUSE users to use their RHEL packages which didn't always work well.
