YaST is probably the best Linux configuration tool in the business if you're sick of editing configuration files or typing obscure commands to configure things.
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.
- mpol 4y agoI don't really understand why Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora have no system configuration tool. Sure, there is a configuration for the user desktop. But nothing for the system in general. It is only SuSE and Mandrake/Mageia that have such a thing, and those were built in the 1990s.
