I like openSUSE, but the predictability is dirt poor (which is why I don't use it for servers...or anything else). About two years ago, LEAP was supposed to be canned for this new shiny thing, since then...nothing. So, dear openSUSE, should I install openSUSE Leap? Wait for the "new" thing, is this "new" thing also free or what? Or you know what? I have a better idea...I just install Debian or FreeBSD (community based, no endless reselling, no corporate overlord, clear messaging).

Kind of agree with this take. Suse was my first distro (got a box set of the commercial distro in the early 00's), but it's been unpredictable, sometimes bug laden, unclear direction, and during that time Debian has become not just better but also easier to use... Flatpak and Flathub mean almost any distro is suitable for a home user, so now what I look for is stability and how easy it is to install and use dev tools. Everything runs and works on Debian, I've found openSuse to have more bugs.
