~10 years ago when I spoke with sys admins about OpenSUSE their feedback was basically: "Due to demand in the institute we have to support it but recommend everyone to stay very very far away from it as it's a security nightmare and in general hard to _properly_ maintain."
Is that still this way today? I mean even back then you had some people promoting it as grate thing, while basically everyone (I knew) with expertise evaluated it as terrible.
But then a lot of time passes, so things can be very different now.

- dathinab 4y agoIt was pretty much the best linux system administrator I have seen yet up to date. So I don't think so. And there had been more then just one or two distros which have been beloved by their users but had serve security related issues in the past, too. Some fixed them and some didn't.
