Fedora

The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat , open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives.
- 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. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed Arch operating system.
- 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. JohnFastman • Jan 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
