I put openSUSE Leap on my pi the other day and I am really impressed. I used to have Fedora 25 on it but DNF was very slow. Granted, I'm using a different SD card after that install kicked the bucket so the slowness could have just been the SD card. Currently I'm using mine as a jumpbox to SSH to from work into my home and generally goof off on. I am definitely going to grab another to throw some services on, thinking a log or monitoring server.
I ended up buying 2 SD cards: SanDisk 16GB Ultra microSDHC UHS-I/Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 80MB/s (SDSQUNC-016G-GN6MA) $5.99 at newegg and the 64GB version (SDSQUNC-064G-GN6MA) for $14.99. As I've posted earlier in the thread, with cards of this nature, I really can't tell too much of a difference on network I/O to/from the pi, LXDE desktop loading is a bit slower, but more than usable for word-processing, web-browsing, etc.. Rasbian has virtually all desktops available for install, from blackbox to fluxbox to wmII to kde4, etc. (now I would expect kde4 to be slow -- it (and plasma/fw5) are slow on my i7 laptop w/8G) -- David C.
