Linux newbie here, sorry if my question sounds kinda dumb.
Basically I am looking for a distro that fits me well, and I've had a look at openSUSE and noticed, that for a lot of software, I had to install that via places like GitHub instead of the zypper package manager (e.g.: Spotify).
I would actually be interested in how many packages the oSUSE repository has, and if installing packages via other ways than zypper happens frequently.
I'm getting into Linux world, so please don't be mad with me if I don't know something. Thanks
2 days ago I installed Arch (and then deleted it and installed EndeavorOS). Since I don't hate myself and my time, after that I started looking for the new distro. Then I come across OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (I hope I spelled it right). I use Arch (BTW) for many reasons but most of them are also present in OpenSUSE. Thing I will miss on Open SUSE are listed below: (I know they can have alternatives on OpenSUSE)
-
AUR - I absolutely love it, you can install almost all the software I use and what isn't on normal package manager. (I care the most about VScode with plugins).
-
pacman - This package manager feels perfect. Commends are simple and packages are easily googlable. I couldn't find what package manager OpenSUSE have.

Arch wiki + forum - This is probably the best and biggest source of knowledge about Linux in general, but some solutions are exclusive for Arch.
