I'm also interested in openSUSE, but what held me back from Tumbleweed was the statement on their Wiki: "If you don't know how to compile your own additional kernel modules and you don't wish to learn or keep a very close eye on what is being updated, please don't use Tumbleweed." (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed)
But here people say it "just works" and it's a great distro. I'm torn :), I'd like to try it, but I'm not sure I wanna follow all updates all the time to make sure it runs fine.
OpenSUSE people are awesome at gatekeeping.
Just jump into the Aeon or microOS Matrix room and ask how to add a repo or install an app as RPM.
Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what's changed on every update, though, but that's because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don't need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy
