OpenSUSE is so amazing and doesn't get recommended enough. I've switched to CachyOS now. Still don't get this meme.

Tumble me weeds,
\ Open me SUSE!It's truly a great distro & my default desktop recommendation for low maintenance.

ts good but ftlog why installing waydroid is so hard on there😭

Not sure why I laughed so hard when I read "kith", I get it but don't see why it's so funny to me, yet my body felt like it was what it had to do

It does sound like an opensource tool.
Also maybe because you heard "KISS approach" in unix?
"Keep it tumbleweed, horseshit."-
I read it as 'Kids In The Hall' ...so I was a bit confused to how this related XD

opensuse is Debian and Arch combined?
No, I think it's saying that opensuse breeds Linux distros, and is trying to get Debian and arch to rub cloacas.
Also, opensuse once bit off a little chunk of someone's ear.
I understand nothing
Well, that's how it feels at times, as someone who uses all 3 for various uses.
how so?
mike tyson is two pigeons
makes sense
Mike Tyson switched to OpenSuse but was considering Arch and Debian.
Nope, haha. OpenSuse is old.
This is an amazing graph. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg
OpenSuse comes from Suse which comes from Jurix and Slackware. There's a dotted line from Redhat, because of the use of the RPM format, but that is as far as their interbred. Many people consider it one of the OG distros.
Arch sprang from the aether later, but one could argue it owes Gentoo for its concept (also a dotted line there).
Debian is an OG. It, Redhat, and Suse are approximately the same age.
Slackware on the other hand just keeps going.
That's an older version rendered by the GitHub project that does those.

Their releases page has current ones:

Can confirm. Slackware user since 1995 when I had to puchase diskettes through Walnut Creek Distributors.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty much like Arch with more graphical tools and more QA. And if you want to have it a little bit more stable like Debian you use OpenSUSE Leap.
Yep. I think the reason the AUR on Arch hosts a lot of unmaintained packages that cause breaking changes at least in my experience. OpenSUSE TW basically is the sweet spot, though I've had one or two bad updates I've always been able to roll back with Snapper.
I wish TW was more mainstream a distro, as it's solves problems people complain about a lot with Linux (i.e. stable releases not supporting new hardware, rolling releases breaking randomly).
I genuinely believe the age of the distro hurts its appeal for Linux youtubers to spruke the later distro.
There's also an additional middleground between them, Slowroll. Still a rolling distro but slower with feature updates for additional stability.
Leap tends to be rather outdated as it keeps binary-compatibility to SLES. Of course makes it as stable as possible, but also more often than not uncomfortably lacking behind.
