OpenSUSE Tumblweed is just rolling redhat with cleaner standards like Fedora.
Saying OpenSUSE Leap is better than rolling releases Arch is a dumb comparison because you can apply that logic to any decent release based distro.
Arch will always be first for bleeding edge which is its primary use case. It would make sense to compsre it to Tumbleweed which achieves the same thing without the artificial PITA “debloat” of Arch requiring you install basic GNU stuff manually but still shipping with a fat as hell systemd dependency.
It has the downside of less 3rd party packsge support though. You’ll likely find more in Arch and AUR than RPMFusion or COPR, especially for new stuff.
Leal and Fedora are cutting edge. Tumbleweed and Arch are bleeding edge.
They are unrelated, almost everything that this person written is wrong or uninformed. Suse uses modified rpm package manager, has their own (arguably better) user repo - OBS, both arch and opensuse aren’t more ‘bleeding edge’ then other - multiple other distros including fedora (actually fedora adopts newer tech at much faster pace and often updates packages faster). Nobody ‘debloats’ default Arch installation and it includes gnu coreutils by default, systemd isn’t a fat as hell dependency, etc. etc…

I’m confused I thought SUSE and RHEL were unrelated branches of the distro tree?
