So I just installed it yesterday on my new home PC. Switching from Windows after I sold my old PC. (I do like gaming sometimes).

Installation worked flawlessly. Hardware was detected on the spot. I could install NVidia's official driver through YaST. Installing Steam from the package manager.

Now I am sitting with a switch pro controller and playing Hogwarts Legacy.

All around a solid experience. Their biggest competitor in this space might be Ubuntu. For me Suse has a more solid feeling to it. Also supports KDE better.

Did you go with Leap or Tumbleweed?

I choose Tumbleweed. Reason being that I do gaming and often you need the latest package of something to be able to. Although, I do not have any experience with Leap so maybe it is good as well? I do back up my own files, so there is not much danger in it for me. For a very stable distro experience at work, I use debian (stable). But it lags a few years behind, so is no good for games.

Leap is not good for gaming, especially if you want cutting edge versions of software and tools. For some software, there just isnt a leap repo.
