Linux Mint was the distro I chose little less than a year ago when I switched to Linux. Used it with Cinammon at first and then switched to XFCE. It's been a cool journey and I have def learned a lot.

But over time Mint has left more to be desired, most specifically, more up to date packages. Hence why I'm leaving the Debian / Ubuntu based distros to try OpenSuSE TW with Gnome.

Any advice would be appreciated

If you do enable the packman repo, expect intermittent dependency conflicts when running zypper dup. When it happens, wait a day or so for repos to update.

Edit: spelling

Yep I did learn to do the same thing. Too bad they don't explain that when installing Thumbleweed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
