Cons
Con Little / no third-party support
Like it or not, most third parties don't want to deal with less-popular distros. So most of them only support Ubuntu LTS and those versions of RHEL/CentOS that are still supported.
Con Complex multimedia codecs and plugins installation
Con "Online Update" update in YaST control center only works in openSUSE Leap
Con Packman repository has to be added to have good software support
Con Slow and painful unfortunately, especially compared to other modern distros
Con Installer
The instasller is abysmal. Is there really no way to install this distro without using it ?
Con Complex for newbies
Because freedom in the world today is not simple
