Perhaps visit opensuse-factory where Leap is discussed. Better yet, visit opensuse-factory archives as there was quite extensive ?debate? about arch which surely does not need to be revisited. Glad 13.1 is esr ;p Re Leap.
Methinks that it would be best renamed at this point in time to 'Leap of Faith' if it still has the current form of Plasma 5 with its Settings (and ?Utilities) listing(s) containing everything but the kitchen sink and the itemised contents of the dishwasher -- not to mention the absence (still!) of the ability to give different desktops each a different wallpaper, like it is now possible in oS 13.2 using KDE 4.14.9. If 'Leap of Faith' is released in its current form I then most sincerely hope that openSUSE 13.2 will become the bestest release of openSUSE and it, too, will be maintained and become the ESR which you say 13.1 is.

Having stated this, I just LOVE the big green light bulb when you boot up 'Leap of Faith' Beta #1 :-) .)

I have not tried Leap, especially as its a Beta, but is it not a bit too soon to start writing it off ?
M If history is any indication, NO, it is not too soon. The sooner the better. I'm going to fire up a virtual machine and give it a try tomorrow.
If anything, too many of us have been remiss about helping out with testing, allowing the developers and packagers to think something is feature complete and ready for prime time, like KDE4 back in the day, and BTRFS just a year ago.
Ah, speaking of BTRFS then be advised that 'Faith' will, by default, format partitions in BTRFS *and* XFS when it decides where to install 'Faith' on your computer. Pay CLOSE attention when the Install reaches the part where it wants to install Leap and how it wants to format the partitions it wants to create. And before you, or David, allows Patrick to chastise you for not following discussions in Factory (or Project) I will tell you that the default use of BTRFS *was* discussed there but it was more akin to the statement at the UN that Iraq had WMT and no matter how one argued against the proposition you had no chance of sanity prevailing 'cause the decision was already made :-D .
