use SuSE since 6.x (20 years?) and tested most other main ones

I hate to sound "me too", but these are also the reasons why I have stayed with SuSE over the years. I went looking for a Linux distro almost the same day IBM announced it was discontinuing OS/2 (around 2001/2002, iirc, but maybe earlier), which I had been running since version 2.0. After a quick comparison of features, I rather quickly settled on SuSE 6.3, and I have been running SuSELinux/openSUSE ever since.
I took a little longer to give up on OS/2, 2004/2005, otherwise very much the same story. I also complete agree with what jdd wrote, as well as what Mikhail wrote about KDE.
claim to fame? dunno, for me SuSE Linux was my first Linux distro. I never had much reason to look elsewhere. Same here. Started with 5.4 in 1998, left Windows in 2001, tried other distros, but always next to S.u.S.E./SuSE/openSUSE. It's simply home. And not only the best KDE implementation, GNOME as well. And I guess I ran all the versions.
