The issue with one partition of any type (no /home) is that you can not reinstall the system, typically with a new release, because it means reformatting home and loosing your data.
Technically incorrect, except WRT installers that refuse to let installation proceed without first formatting / (e.g. Fedora). One can boot something else, delete the package management data and the binaries (/bin/, /lib/, /run/, /sys/, /var/, etc.), but save /home/ and selected config files (in /etc/), then perform an installation. Reformatting / isn't necessary with openSUSE. Just be forewarned that leaving inappropriate files or config settings behind is is a formula for inexplicable and/or undesirable behavior in the new installation. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
