      pros, cons and recent comments
      JohnFastman Manjaro doesn't use .rpm for its software packages, but it's similar to OpenSuse in these ways: 1) like OpenSuse Tumbleweed, it's a rolling distro, 2) KDE Plasma is the default desktop environment, 3) both have superb online community support.

      Fedora vs openSUSE opinions
      pros, cons and recent comments
      JohnFastman Fedora and OpenSuse are both excellent distros. What makes Fedora most obviously similar to OpenSuse is that they both use .rpm software packages. Fedora's default desktop is Gnome 3, in contrast to OpenSuse's KDE Plasma. But, of course, you can install whatever desktop you like in either case.
