I liked SUSE and still have a version where it came in a shrink wrapped 
box with hardcopy documentation and the whole enchilada on CDs. (DVDs?)

I initially had problems with 13.2. By default it formatted the boot 
partition with btrfs. Grub didn't care for that and I'm not sure that it 
does now. I selected ext4 and all was good.  I liked it but missed the 
leap to Leap so ran it to well past its expiration date. The box got a 
upgraded processor, SSD, and Fedora.
