It really depends on what you're looking for. Fedora is a fantastic distribution, so there's really no reason to switch. I switched from Fedora -> Arch -> openSUSE Tumbleweed because: I didn't like the release model of Fedora - Arch and Tumblewed are rolling openQA - packages on openSUSE go through automated tests before being released
Firstly, a confession: I tried unsuccessfully to install openSUSE over 5 years ago and kept getting vague permanent errors as I recollect: Cannot continue installation due to permanent errors. It only gave me one option, Abort Installation. So of course, openSUSE remained uninstalled for half a decade. Having some time with Arch I swore off rolling releases until I started to read up on ...
Fedora pro: Much more user-friendly. Sorry openSUSE fans, but your distro is quite obtuse in many ways, and users must learn the "openSUSE way" to manage a lot of things that just never seemed difficult at all on Ubuntu or Fedora.

Over many Linux forums, there is a general rule of thumb that advocates new users to not stick their heads into rolling releases, well at least not until one is comfortable with Linux, and has the required knowledge / experience to fix an ...

Binary Quality: Somehow openSUSE's binaries work better with my hardware and don't cause any dubious issues unlike on Arch/Fedora where those rarely occur.
