Out of curiosity, what is it you like about openSUSE? It's been forever since I've messed around with it and was considering switching to it from Mint (having some graphics stability issue possibly coming from my bizarre monitor layout giving X11 headaches while using KDE, which Mint doesn't really optimize for)
I like the GeekOSDaw Audio packages (especially QJackCTL);
I prefer KDE Plasma over Cinnamon (I know you can use Mint with Plasma);
It's stable, reliable (apart from some issues with Nvidia drivers, though they've gotten less frequent and easier to fix), and up to date.
I probably could have tried more distros, but I'm perfectly happy with where I am and thus see no need to experiment all that much.
I've previously installed CachyOS on the PC I've now got Debian on, to use it as a guest Gaming PC, and that was fine as well.
I'm mostly using X11 since everything runs on it (I've got a 3-to-4 monitor setup - 3 normally, with a beamer I can additionaly connect). Wayland works well for the most part, too, but some things are more glitchy on it.
Also, i found it pretty nice to have a centralized control panel (Yast) for things I didn't/don't know how to do in the terminal yet.
A Point of friction: Printer Drivers didn't include the one we had when I installed Tumbleweed. Our roommate took the printer when he moved out, so it's irrelevant for now, but i'm thinking of getting a laser printer sometime.
