Overall Satisfaction with openSUSE Leap
We use openSUSE Leap as the operating system for both the development of new applications and for production servers. It is very stable and requires much less time to maintain compared to Windows operating systems. Using YaST it is very easy to install additional open-source packages including development environments. The online update mechanism allows the system to be kept up to date with all the patches etc. The stability is great, and it is also easy to perform distro upgrades to the new versions of openSUSE Leap. The system works on laptops as well, so the usage of new packages in the production environment can be easily tested in the development environment.
