First, let me be clear up front that I’m not promoting the idea that there should be one “universal” Linux distro. With all the various distros out there for consumers, there’s lots of discussion about Arch, Debian, and Fedora (and their various descendant projects), but I rarely see much talk about openSUSE.

Why might somebody choose that one over the others? What features or vision distinguishes it from the others?

Edit: I love all the answers! Great stuff. Thanks to everyone!

    How is it with running Steam and how is its bluetooth controller support for Xbox controllers?

        Really? Because FreeBSD has bluetooth issues. Xpadneo doesn’t work with all distros. Hell, I can’t even get the authentic Proton VPN app on KDE Plasma. So please explain how my question isn’t valid.

          FreeBSD isn’t a Linux distribution. And Steam is available as a flatpak which work the same on all distributions.

            Yeah, shittily. Flatpak is sandboxed which causes issues for many games, least of which are anti-cheat issues, and it’s a huge pain in the ass, if not impossible, to get working correctly. The fact you suggest Flatpak for such a thing just shows you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground.
