First and second one. I don't need other 2.

openSUSE is the only usable linux distro

Half a year ago I decided to go with Manjaro over SUSE. I dont regret it although I wanted to try SUSE too.I think that rpm was why I decided to go with Manjaro.

Always use KDE on OpenSUSE. Its the best default KDE of any distro by a landslide.

Their XFCE is really good though if you can't run KDE.

OpenSUSE Masterrace checking in. Zypper is almost as good as Pacman, but none of the Arch fuckery.

XFCE

Yast is godtier to sysadmin stuff. It can be extended to something like Puppet or Chef, yet since it is monolithic (only works for SUSE) it can be a redundant framework for sysadmin stuff. Still it let's you script/manage your system in a unified way if you want something a la Windows. Having such a friendly GUI is very convenient if you want to tweak your system and want to have access to any config, but still if you don't know what you're doing you'll probably fuck it up.

Zypper works as intuitively as pacman. Zypper patterns works like something in between Gentoo Overlays and Debian Metapackages. Yast Metapackages are also one click GUI installers.

The OpenSuse Build Service let's you set up a personal agnostic repo (you can package software for mainstream repos like Fedora, RHEL or CentOS rpms, Debian or Ubuntu debs and even Arch pkg.tar.gzs) by hosting it a la PPA. It also works as a backend for software.opensuse.org which turns the OBS to something similar in size and functionality to the AUR (not as big, but big enough). Just remember not to mix versions like using tumbleweed or fedora packages for leap, for this you'll do more good if you just repackage it for your distro. Even if OBS is far more secure than the AUR, you still need to trust the source.

Packaging is good. Expect some 80% of just works packages with 20% broken dependencies. For the normal and even enterprisey features you'll be covered; if you want to rice your desktop to the max or have to use some weird obscure package you'll probably need to compile/package your software by hand (if you do this please post it in the OBS).

Do use something equally or newer than a ThinkPad T400 since defaults use a lot of resources, and you may need to turnoff what you don't need (zypper patterns). If you want the ability to build your own system a la netinstall, but don't have the time or don't care to use sane defaults you can also use the Suse Studio to build your own opensuse image.

openSUSE is the most optimized distro for KDE. You'll be a turbo moron if you use anything else on it.

They even make a decent patched Firefox for it to use the KDE dialogs etc. out of the box.

i dont understand why firefox don't ship a qt version by default

hell, they could make it a toggle through a configure script even if automake is fucking ass
