Why is SUSE so seldom talked about? I don't know much about the distro except it has been around a long time, has professional support, supposedly is popular in Europe, and isn't it an RPM distro? Is there any downside to its fully free spins?

I can't speak for SUSE's corporate use, but I use opensuse on my laptop, server, router, and vps. Very nice distribution. That's not to say that there aren't sources/moments of friction and/or concern between the corporate and community, but it comes with the territory I guess.

I use OpenSUSE a lot for both desktop and servers, and it’s great. The biggest downside though is that it probably has the least friendly and helpful community of any Linux or BSD distro I’ve ever used. Questions on their forums are frequently met with hostility and derision, mostly from one particularly active user

  Would you please report that user (if you haven’t already) to the OpenSUSE moderators? This is very much not the community we are trying to build!

  Out of curiosity I went and checked these forums, and man. It's a weird place. So much rant.
