I would shy away from opensuse. Its really a server implementation with a desktop façade. It can be a bit ornery to use sometimes.

Hi all.

I'm looking to install a new distro, after using Mint and Kubuntu for a long time.
I'm trying to choose whether to try Manjaro or OpenSUSE.

Sure, I can install both and can look around. But I'm wondering is there is anyone here who uses either of these distros who might be aware of issues not readily apparent. Intended desktop is KDE.

Note: I want to be able to use Dupeguru, Spotify, Skype and Signal, apps that under *buntu require auxilliary PPA repositories. Some of these are dealbreakers if I can't use them.

All answers are appreciated. The system is to be installed on an SSD, if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
