I went from Mint directly to arch, back to endeavour, fedora, OpenSuse and currently I’m using manjaro on my PC and fedora on my laptop. Endeavour was also a very good experience. I can only recommend it.
OpenSuse however was a total Desaster. I couldn’t switch back to X11,bricked my window system in an attempt of trying so and it even broke so bad, that on all of my older system snapshots (that were older than my attempt of trying to switch to X11) I did not have Internet even tho my LAN cable was connected.
Interesting. In Tumbleweed, one can switch between X11 and Wayland with a simple toggle in the login screen. I haven’t experienced any issues going back and forward.
That exact toggle button did not exist on my machine (idk why), so I installed tried to force x11 by disabling Wayland in some config file and that bricked everything. Idk how, I did not bother enough to fix it, since that installation was kind of fucked anyway and moved on to manjaro. It took probably only about 1 month from the installation to this.
To be precise, it is not a “toggle button” as such, it is a menu at the bottom left that is defaulted to X11 but can be switched to Wayland.
Tumbleweed also has snapshots. I don’t know how messing around with Wayland could make even launching into a snapshot impossible but I never messed with Wayland/X11 either.
You don’t need internet to rollback to a previous snapshot before you nuked your system files by editing that config to turn Wayland off. But given that this is in the past, it is water down the river I guess.

Well, i could boot into the snapshots, but I didnt have Internet. I have no clue how the fuck this is even possible, but it happened anyway.

I literally booted back into the old snapshot (I could switch between them in the boot menu). It was fully functional, except Internet.
