The snaps don't bother me and while I'm not fond of GNOME I can live with 
it. However I've had to manually fix stuff after upgrading to LTS versions 
and now to 24.10. That's disappointing in a distro that's supposed to be 
newbie friendly. 

I never upgraded OpenSUSE past 13.2 because the consensus at the time was 
going to Leap best was done with a fresh install but Ubuntu should be 
smoother. 

I'm not going to reinstall this box short of a disaster but in the future 
I'll stick with KDE capable distros.
