If you are running leading-edge hardware, and for it you need a leading-edge kernel etc., then openSUSE already has an answer: it is Tumbleweed.
I can't agree with that, sorry. The main distribution should work on any hardware that I can buy currently at the shop, and not force me to use "experimental" distribution.
There is no such a thing as "main distribution" in terms of openSUSE, both Tumbleweed and Leap are treated as equally main. Neither is Tumbleweed "experimental", it's rolling, and tested, it's as stable as we can make it. Factory is experimental, we don't ship that one because it's not tested. I feel that's not fair to developers that put their heart and soul into development (and testing) of Tumbleweed just for it to be dismissed as lesser because it's rolling ;) Although even Wikipedia spreads misinformation in regards to that, they are listing Tumbleweed as development rolling distribution, as in base for Leap, Factory is the base for both.
For instance, the other day I was trying to help someone on Usenet with a network that would not work on Leap but did on Ubuntu, out of the box.
