多数的的桌面 Linux 用户都会选择三种发行版本：Debian/Ubuntu、Fedora 或者 Arch Linux。但是今天，我将给出你需要使用 openSUSE 的五大理由。


相比其他的 Linux 发行版，我总能在 [openSUSE](https://www.opensuse.org/) 上看到一些令人耳目一新的东西。我说不太好，但它总是如此的闪亮和个性鲜明。这绿色的大蜥蜴是看起来如此的令人惊叹！但这并不是 openSUSE **即便不是最好也是要比其它发行版更好**的原因！


请别误解我。我在各种场合用过许多不同的 Linux 发行版，同时也很敬佩在这些发行版背后默默工作的开发者，是他们让计算变成一件快乐的事情。但是 openSUSE 一直让人感觉，嗯，令人崇敬——你是不是也这样觉得？


### openSUSE 比其他 Linux 发行版要好的五大理由


你是不是认为我在说 openSUSE 是最好的 Linux 发行版？不，我并不是要表达这个意思。其实没有任何一个 Linux 发行版是最好的。它真的可以满足你寻找 “灵魂伴侣” 的需求。


但在这里，我准备给大家说说，openSUSE 比其他发行版做得要好的五件事。如下：


#### #1 社区规则


openSUSE 是一个典型的社区驱动型项目。我经常看到很多用户在升级后抱怨开发人员改变了他们喜欢的发行版。但在 openSUSE 不是这样，openSUSE 是纯社区驱动的项目，并且任何时候都朝着用户所希望的方向发展。


#### #2 系统的健壮性


另外一个是操作系统的集成程度。我可以在同一个 openSUSE 系统上安装所有的[最好的 Linux 桌面环境](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-desktop-environments/)，而在 Ubuntu 上则因为系统的稳定性，坚决不允许用户这样做。而这恰好体现了一个系统的健壮程度。因此，对于那些喜欢自己动手完成每一件事的用户，openSUSE 还是很诱人的。


#### #3 易于安装软件


在 Linux 的世界里有很多非常好用的包管理工具。从 Debian 的 apt-get 到 [Fedora](https://itsfoss.com/fedora-24-review/) 的 DNF，它们无不吸引着用户，而且在这些发行版成为流行版本的过程中扮演着重要角色。


openSUSE 同样有一个将软件传递到桌面的好方法。[software.opensuse.org](https://software.opensuse.org/421/en) 是一个 Web 界面，你可以用它从仓库中获取安装软件。你所需要做的就是打开这个链接 (当然，是在 openSUSE 系统上)，在搜索框中输入你想要的软件，点击“直接安装”即可。就是这么简单，不是吗？


听起来就像是在使用 Google 商店一样，是吗？


#### #4 YAST


毫不夸张的说，[YaST](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST) (LCTT 译注: YaST 是 openSUSE 和 SUSE Linux 企业版的安装和配置工具) 绝对是世界上有史以来**操作系统**上最好的控制中心。并且毫无疑问地，你可以使用它来操控系统上的一切：网络、软件升级以及所有的基础设置等。无论是 openSUSE 的个人版或是 SUSE Linux 企业版，你都能在 YaST 的强力支撑下，轻松的完成安装。总之，一个工具，方便而无所不能。


#### #5 开箱即用的极致体验


SUSE 的团队是 Linux 内核中最大的贡献者团体之一。他们辛勤的努力也意味着，他们有足够的经验来应付不同的硬件条件。


有着良好的硬件支持，一定会有很棒的开箱即用的体验。


#### #6 他们做了一些搞笑视频


等等，不是说好了是五个理由吗？怎么多了一个！


但因为 [Abhishek](https://itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/) 逼着我加进来，因为他们做的 Linux 的搞笑视频才使 openSUSE 成为了最好的发行版。


开了个玩笑，不过还是看看 [Uptime Funk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbABy9ul11I)，你将会知道[为什么 SUSE 是最酷的 Linux](https://itsfoss.com/suse-coolest-linux-enterprise/) 。







### LEAP 还是 TUMBLEWEED？该用哪一个！


如果你现在想要使用 openSUSE 了，让我来告诉你，这两个 openSUSE 版本：LEAP 和 TUMBLEWEED。哪一个更合适你一点。

尽管两者都提供了相似的体验和相似的环境，但还是需要你自行决定安装那个版本到你硬盘上。


#### OPENSUSE : LEAP


[openSUSE Leap](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap) 是一个普通的大众版本，基本上每八个月更新一次。目前最新的版本是 openSUSE 42.1。它所有的软件都是稳定版，给用户提供最顺畅的体验。


对于家庭用户、办公和商业用户，是再合适不过的了。它合适那些想要一个稳定系统，而不必事事亲为，可以让他们安心工作的用户。只要进行正确的设置之后，你就不必担心其他事情，然后专心投入工作就好。同时，我也强烈建议图书馆和学校使用 Leap。


#### OPENSUSE: TUMBLEWEED


[Tumbleweed version of openSUSE](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed) 是滚动式更新的版本。它定期更新系统中所使用的软件集的最新版本。对于想要使用最新软件以及想向 openSUSE 做出贡献的开发者和高级用户来说，这个版本绝对值得一试。


需要指出的是，Tumbleweed 并不是 Leap 的 beta 和 测试版本 。它是最新锐的 Linux 稳定发行版。


Tumbleweed 给了你最快的更新，但是仅在开发者确定某个包的稳定性之后才行。


### 说说你的想法?


请在下方评论说出你对 openSUSE 的想法。如果你已经在考虑使用 openSUSE，你更想用 Leap 和 Tumbleweed 哪一个版本呢？


来，让我们开干！

OK
Most of the desktop Linux users stay in 3 categories: Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux. But today, I’ll give you **5 reasons why you should use openSUSE**.

I’ve always found [openSUSE](https://www.opensuse.org/) to be a bit different kind of a Linux distro. I don’t know, but it’s just so shiny and charismatic. The green chameleon looks awesome. But that’s not the reason **why openSUSE is the best** or better than other Linux distributions.

Don’t misunderstand me. I run so many different distros for different purposes and appreciate the work people behind these distros are doing to make computing a joy. But openSUSE always felt, well, sacred. You feel me?

## 5 reasons why openSUSE is better than other Linux distributions

Did I just say that openSUSE is the best Linux distribution? No, I didn’t. There is no one best Linux distribution. It is really up to your needs what you find as your ‘soulmate’.

But here, I am going to list 5 things that I have found that openSUSE does better than other Linux distros. Let’s see them.

### #1 Community rules

openSUSE is a great symbol of community driven projects. I have seen a lot of users complain about changes made by the developers in their favorite distro after an update. But not openSUSE. openSUSE is truly community driven and gives its users what they want. Everytime.

### #2 Rock solid OS

Another thing is OS integrity. I can install almost all of the [best Linux desktop environments](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-desktop-environments/) on the same openSUSE installation which is not possible even on Ubuntu without compromising the stability of the system. This clearly shows how robust the system is. Therefore, openSUSE should appeal to the users who’ll be tinkering a lot under the hood.

### #3 Easy to install software

We do have lots of awesome package managers in Linux world. From Debian apt-get to the DNF of [Fedora](https://itsfoss.com/fedora-24-review/), all do appeal to the users and sometimes play a great role in attracting users to a particular distro.

openSUSE has again brought a great software delivery method to the table. [software.opensuse.org](https://software.opensuse.org/421/en) is a web-portal that you can use to install software from the repository. All you need to do is to go to the link (on your openSUSE OS of course), use the search box to find your desired software. Click “Direct Install”. Done. That’s all.

Sounds like using Google PlayStore, ain’t it?

### #4 YaST

[YaST](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:YaST) is literally the best control center ANY OS in the world has ever had. No arguments there. You can control everything. Networking, Software Update, all the basic settings. Everything. YaST gives you absolute power over your openSUSE installation, be it the enterprise edition or the personal installation. Convenient and everything at one place.

### #5 Excellent out of the box experience

SUSE team is one of the biggest contributors to the Linux kernel. This diligent effort also means that they have excellent support for various hardware.

With such good hardware support, comes great out-of-the-box experience.

### #6 They make great parody videos

Wait! There were five reasons that made openSUSE awesome, right?

But I am forced to write it as [Abhishek](https://itsfoss.com/author/abhishek/) wants to me add that openSUSE is the best because they make great Linux parody videos :)

Just kidding but do check out the super awesome [Uptime Funk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbABy9ul11I) and you would know why SUSE is the coolest Linux.

## Leap or Tumbleweed? Which openSUSE should I use?

Now if I have convinced you to use openSUSE, let me tell you about the choices you have when it comes to openSUSE. It comes in two variants: [Leap and Tumbleweed](https://itsfoss.com/opensuse-leap-vs-tumbleweed/).

![Choice](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2016/09/Untitled-design-2.jpg)

Now although both offer a similar experience and a similar environment, There is a decision You must make before choosing which one of these two to imprint on Your hard disk.

## openSUSE : Leap

[openSUSE Leap](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Leap) is for most people. It has a release cycle of 8 months which is followed orthodoxly. Currently, we have openSUSE 42.1. It contains all the stable packages and provides the smoothest experience of the two.

It is highly suitable for Home, Office and for Business computers. It is for people who need a good OS but won’t/can’t keep pampering the OS and need it to move aside and let them work. Once setup, you need not worry about anything and focus on your productivity. I also highly recommend Leap for use in libraries and schools.

## openSUSE: Tumbleweed

The [Tumbleweed version of openSUSE](https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed) is a rolling release. It very regularly gets updates and always contains the newest set of software running on it. It is recommended for developers, advanced users who want the newest of everything on their system and anybody who wants to contribute to openSUSE.

Let me clarify one thing, though. Tumbleweed is in no way a beta/testing release to the Leap. It is the most bleeding edge stable Linux distro available.

Tumbleweed gives you the fastest updates, but only after the developers assure for the packages’ stability.

### Your say?

Let us know in the comments below what you think of openSUSE? And if you already thinking of using openSUSE, which of the two version would you prefer: Leap or Tumbleweed? Cheers :)
