One subtle suggestion - new users should probably not be trying out Tumbleweed, they ought to start with Leap. In my opinion.

Well, but there are many different kind of "new users", I think. There are "new users" that are new to Linux in general, which I guess one may argue (although I'm not really sure I agree :-D) they better start with trying Leap. There are also "new users" that are "new" just to openSUSE, that have previous experience with other distros, that know that the kind of distro the like the most are the rolling one, and hence want to try the rolling variant of openSUSE (and in fact, me, ~ two years ago, was that kind of new openSUSE user :-D). You can argue that such kind of new users are less likely to have to write an ISO from Windows... And I think I agree with that. But this brings me the the point: is this related to the "issue" at hand? As in, if the guy from my story had tried to make a Leap Live USB key, downloading Leap from this page: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/leap and writing it with that Rufus thing, that would have probably failed in the very same way. Wouldn't it?
