    YAST. Personally, I think it's ass, but some people insist that it's OpenSUSE's killer software.

    Yeast isn't bad but really Opensuse brings a really stable rolling release and the open build service. Leap is very stable and makes a great desktop. Plasma is great. Like most things it isnt for all uses but I've had Tumbleweed for years as my desktop OS and love it.

    really stable rolling release

    lol no. I did forget about OBS, though. That is actually great about OpenSUSE.

    Edit: wait, the OBS also works on other distros so it's not something they're missing out on.

    For me it's specifically tumbleweed and it's great features. It's a rolling release distro so all the newest packages, easy to setup, utilizes a btrfs file system (Fedora does this also) for easy rollbacks if something does break. And despite it being a rolling distro I have yet to have something actually break.

    YAST can be nice sometimes as well but I tend to use terminal commands, however it's great for those who prefer a GUI, especially new folk.

    One con I will list is package availability. It's repositories are a bit smaller than most of the other major distros and sometimes flatpaks or directly downloading rpms are needed but it's fairly rare for me at least.

    So far my experience on it has been great for gaming, development, and just casual use. Highly recommend it to newbies and older Linux folks alike.
