make me one of yours
I use Tumbleweed since years and although rolling, its more stable than Pop ever was for me. Stable in the sense of daily use and upgrading in particular. Every update you get on OpenSuse is, as a TLDR version of an explanation, run through an automated AI process that checks if everything works, only then the update is pushed out. The AI analyzes pictures of the OS to check. For example, it goes through the boot process and sees if it works, then clicks on certain apps like yast and see if they open, comparing whats shown on screen with a reference picture. You can see whats currently going on in terms of testing here.
- PSA: Flatpaks are currently broken on Fedora. Here's a temporary solution.

Choosing beginner-friendly distro for gaming and coding
For development, I really like Arch Linux because of the freedom and AUR¹, for gaming, I prefer openSUSE because of the rock solid performance and reliability out-of-the-box, and their automated QA platform helps to ensure new updates don't break the system, so, sometimes, openSUSE delivers the latest package first (while Arch Linux waits for the first patch version).

When will Linux 6.0 come to arch?
Yes it does, my Tumbleweed installation already got 6.0, but most of Tumbleweed testing is fully automated so they have some advantage there, even though I did not expected openSUSE to have a more up-to-date kernel.
-
I'm sorry if this was posted a million times but hear me out please.
for gaming I would use tumbleweed (rolling release) version as then you will get latest stuff (but unlike on Arch (-based), so its more tested / stable thanks to openQA and obs)

Latest grub update on arch distros seems to cause boot issues
Yes, openQA is also use for Tumbleweed as well.
- Using the Same Arch Linux Installation for a Decade
-
Unpopular Opinion: Flatpaks are overrated.
openSUSE Tumbleweed already does all of that using Zypper, openQA and Snapper respectively.

openSUSE Frequently Asked Questions -- start here
openSUSE Tumbleweed follows a rolling-release model. A new "version" is automatically tested (with openQA) and released every few days. Security updates are distributed as part of regular package updates (except in emergencies). Any package can be updated at any time, and new features are introduced as soon as the distro maintainers think they are ready. The user experience can change due to these updates, though we try to avoid breaking things without providing an upgrade path and some notice (usually on the Factory mailing list).

NixOS + the Arch Linux kernel = badassery
So, the "bleeding edge" of https://github.com/archlinux/linux? That's going to just get you a release candidate of the mainline kernel, with no Arch-specific patches. You can get that on NixOS by using linuxPackages_testing.

sd-encrypt, LUKS partition unlock and YubiKey - Erratic behavior
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm guessing I have to do it with the Arch Linux fork of the linux kernel?

snd_usb_audio module not working!

I've now downloaded v6.0.2-arch1 and confirmed the patch isn't applied. Idk why but will check on archs forums.
I've confirmed that in v6.0.2-arch1 the patch isn't applied. But it is on the master branch.
Recently I see the patch for it to work is upstreamed and already on the latest "6.0.2-arch1-1" kernel.

- Vanilla Kernel using Arch Build System?

A few changes to joborun development
Lately there appear to be changes in Arch as well, making it hard to keep up as well. Let's examine for example the kernel building. It was the tradition and commitment by arch to use direct source from upstream, and only modify what is necessary to make software comply with the entire distro. Now, with linux-5.19 appearing, and maybe with the last versions of 5.18, instead of using directly a tar ball from kernel.org Arch is using its own source library https://github.com/archlinux/linux/tags made by forking Torvalds' git. The traditional config file is gone, and all configuration and patching takes place at Arch's forked source.
