I have OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a laptop, and recently I encountered a number of annoying bugs, including one being unable to receive updates from the h264 repository, and Plasma 6 annoying bugs.

I definitely wouldn't recommend it anyone unless you like to tinker and fix your system.

Yeah, it's a shit show. I put up with it for like 2 years until the update to Plasma 6 utterly broke my system and finally decided to switch.

Fedora, which is also a shit show but not as much. I'll probably put up with it until it actually breaks like I did with OpenSUSE, though.

This only happened to me once but you just revert to the pre update snapshot in the boot menu and try again in a couple of weeks.
