I have been using openSUSE for about 3 years now, and am very satisfied with how it runs. Before it, my only interaction with Linux was a Red Hat console at work (can’t give details). My next household project is going to have openSUSE 12.3 as the main system, and I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with it so far. I am currently using 12.2 on my laptop with issues that I was able to fix very quickly.
There are some glitches in 12.3 like you need to add users to “video” group if you use nvidia and there is this infamous “no network issue”

openSUSE®, the “German Engineered Automobile” of operating systems!
How nice, I did never see this page, thanks. Had a good laugh.
I think she was trying to steer up some opinion of some users that have a reserved and timid character (like you) and tend to hold back with their opinions. rotfl!
If you do not give us details about what you are planning to do, it is difficult to answer. What means for you “main system”. Do you use it for email and office? Or do you plan to do the project of a portable railgun through a 3D printer using CAD/CAM while you are helping out NASA to uphold their network needs (like “NASA@home”).
Depending of your uses, there may…be pitfalls that are sometimes hardware sometimes software, sometimes user related.
So by what you saying the answer would be: how could we possible tell you?

Come on guys, the question is fully legitimate. Better pop the question and knwo what you should expect, then jump in and see how far you get. The latter can become pretty nasty…
@OP: yes there are a few issues, like already mentioned. But none that you cannot overcome without too much effort. I’ve installed openSUSE 12.3 on numerous desktops and laptops, it’s fast, stable, reliable.
+1 here yeah. some minor issues and will be easy to solve unless your machine is really not linux friendly.

I think you’ll find that the openSUSE team tend not release versions with major issues.

Just look around the questions people ask here to get a feeling.
Or download one of the live ex-cd images and try it.
Or install it in a spare partition and try it.

Ha! I thought DD had done a video capture of the screen or something.
Funny that somebody created such a site
