Hands-On with openSUSE Leap – Pros, Cons, and Real-World Use

  • July 28, 2025
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I really like about openSUSE Leap is how stable and reliable it feels. The YaST tool is super handy — it makes things like system updates or network setup way easier, even if you’re not a command-line expert. It’s a solid choice that just works without much hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some software isn’t as up-to-date, and the community feels smaller compared to other distros like Ubuntu.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Works flawlessly

  • Review from a verified AWS customer

My company has deployed a couple of production machines now using this AMI and everything works as expected, which for OpenSUSE means everything works with zero issues! Maybe we'll encounter one someday but for now it's an Admin's dream.

LEAP into action with openSUSE

  • July 20, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
openSUSE has, hands down, the best KDE desktop experience of any distro out there, it has great theming and the defaults are pretty much perfect. On top of that, you have YAST2 for config in a nice visual manner, but can drop down to the command line for either finer tuned control than the GUI gives you or if you’re just more comfortable with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting mono to install the way that I want to has always been less than comfortable, but that is, I think, more on me than openSUSE.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using openSUSE LEAP to spin up some low powered VMs for PoC servers is really fantastic, that has allowed much greater flexibility to myself and other devs.

OpenSUSE a reliable Distro

  • July 19, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use regarding the installations for 3rd party apps and also the community support that they provide.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cons to this distro that is not sudo base, meaning there is a small learning curve in the beginning if your experience was only debian.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using at a main workstation OS instead of RedHat.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
OpenSude is Linux Distro that is an alternative for a RedHat Workstation. However if you are looking for server Linux Distro then I would recommend CentOS as a free server OS.
