The further it goes, the less appealing Ubuntu is to me.

I'm on the fence between using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Debian.

I'm just so comfortable using the Debian packaging system thanks to Ubuntu that I kind of dread having to re-learn RPM. Though they made it simple with Zypper.

Also OpenSUSE's avantage is the easy installation on a BTRFS filesystem with snapper that creates grub entries making restoration really easy.

Now I haven't tried installing NVidia drivers yet. This might be a challenge for either distros.
