I really liked mint, but I started to need newer packages, so I went with manjaro. Then I messed around with fedora and immediately hated their nonsense open source philosophy. The back to manjaro. Then I installed arch............and found it to be a huge pain in the ass. Then went back to manjaro.
Then manjaro started to send out shittier package updates that broke a lot of systems.
This is juuuust when opensuse 13.2 hit the last beta stage. So I heard good things, and I tried it out. I liked it a lot, and then I heard about tumbleweed.
And so far, nothing beats tumbleweed. It strikes a very good balance between performance, stability, new software, and a large package collection.
