Use Linux Mint - based upon Ubuntu.

OpenSUSE's progenitor, SUSE, is rather a big deal. A lot of enterprise software is designed to run on it. Dell EMC products moved from Red Hat to SUSE (to my chagrin) years ago. SUSE has an aggressive legal department that works very hard to shake down people with legacy installations.

Novell has been a bad parent (now SUSE is spun off to a holding company, probably even worse), almost as bad as Computer Associates and IBM. But for certain types of business operations, Mint isn't going to cut it.

OpenSUSE, I surmise, has a relationship to SUSE similar to Fedora's relationship to RedHat.
