What was the point of this reply?

OpenSUSE uses, I believe, RPM packages. When I used SUSE back in the 90s, update packages were a nightmare, there were always unsolved dependencies and trying to fix them manually was an exercise in frustration.

I would suggest you look at a distribution using Debian packages (.deb), like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and so on, updates are pain free.
Mmm, yes, distro wars indeed. You're one to cast stones, aren't you: "back in the 90's," such definitive evidence.

I personally have no experience with Fedora, but Fedora is a spin off of Red Hat, the original RPM (Red hat Package Manager) implementer, so it would have the same issues as openSUSE.
Generally, when one has no experience with something, they don't bother speaking.
