Tried out Leap and Tumbleweed once each.
Leap (I guess) 6 years back, to get a glimpse at how btrfs snapshots/restore worked in practice (I think the tool it builds upon is snapper). At the time I was using LVM snapshots on Fedora and found the btrfs snapshots way slower than what I was doing with LVM.
Then I tried Tumbleweed a couple of years back, with the intent of switching to another rpm based distro that is more upstream. Installation was slow and the package downloads didn't have retry logic built in so I had to go through the process of couple of times. Had a few things to tweak since SUSE doesn't use NetworkManager but networkd (or something like that), which was giving me some trouble I can't recall. YaST might be cool for power users, but as I'm always using Ansible for system configuration I skip past it and modify files directly anyway.
Worked fine, but in the end didn't find enough upsides to switch to it from Fedora. I might give it another try a few years down the line.
