IN BRIEF
One of the oldest Linux distros, openSUSE is to SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) what Fedora is to RHEL. Still popular, the distro has lost ground to its peers, as its corporate sponsor changed owners a couple of times in the past decade. Since 2018, the distro has aligned its version numbers with SLE 15.
SPECS
CPU: 2GHz dual-core
Memory: 2GB
HDD: 40GB
Build: x86_64, aarch64, PowerPC
We don’t give openSUSE the attention it deserves, but that’s partly because of the project’s off-canter release cycle. SUSE’s enterprise edition and the community-supported openSUSE are now being developed in tandem from the ground up.
The openSUSE project maintains two main branches of the distro. In 2014, the developers split off a stabilised instance of its development branch named Factory into a rolling release update called Tumbleweed, pitched at developers and experienced users. Then comes Leap, which is the regular release that aligns with SLE, and is aligned with the sensibilities of long-term support (LTS) releases.
