in summary:
"SUSE provides thirteen year product lifecycle for most products in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 12."
I was still thinking the support was 7 years (and find this much!)
so if long term support for openSUSE is 3 or 5 years, it do not anymore compete with SUSE one :-)
And https://www.SUSE.com/lifecycle/ on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 row indicates "GENERAL SUPPORT ENDS" is TBD and "EXTENDED SUPPORT ENDS" is TBD While on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 indicates "GENERAL SUPPORT ENDS" is 31 Oct 2024 and "EXTENDED SUPPORT ENDS" is 31 Oct 2027. Further, if one selects the "SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1" link, one is redirected to the "Overview | SUSE Desktop" page, https://www.SUSE.com/products/desktop/ and if one selects the "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1" link, one is redirected to the "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" page, https://www.SUSE.com/products/server/
The desktop will probably have a different lifetime than the server, yes. The underlying core codebase is the same. As my take from the openSUSE conference, Leap versions will go to be based on SLES 13 once it appears in 2 years or so.
