Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot.""openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman.""The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system.""I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house.""The solution is very stable after it is configured. It is hard to have a panel slow, a problem, misconfiguration, or any kind of loss function.""The solution is easy for me to use because the backend is derived from FreeBSD and this is something I have been using for over 20 years."

"One valuable feature is the ability to snap windows to different sections of the screen, which is especially useful on big screens.""We plan to increase the usage as it is easy to deploy, and most users are familiar with Windows.""It supports a lot of features compared to other operating systems.""The ability to divide the screen into two or three sections is useful.""Windows 11 is a user-friendly solution.""The tool is very stable and I don't recall a time the screen went blue which was common for Windows 7. The product's installation is fast. If I have any issue that prevents me from booting Windows 11, it will automatically run into auto-repair mode and fix those issues. Windows 10 had this functionality but it wasn't good.""We are migrating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to end-of-life, security concerns, and end-of-support. The tool's configuration is good and we are satisfied with it since it's a Microsoft product. We didn't face any hurdles in using the tool. We didn't feel much difference with both Windows products. The solution is good because in IT we want to secure our data. Nowadays, data is the most valuable thing. If your data is secured, then you are secured. I think that everyone has to move to Windows 11 since Windows 10 is facing end-of-life and end-of-sales, probably by 2024.""Windows 11 is an easy-to-use solution."

Cons
"In the future, the Active Directory could improve.""Like most Linux-based operating systems, the biggest challenge Leap faces is the GUI.""I would like openSUSE Leap to have better link integration with Windows.""There is room for improvement in the console.""Somehow the change from OS12.x via 13.x to Leap was a bit bumpy and some old issues seemed to reappear.""The initial system setup or network configuration of the solution is not straightforward and can be improved."

More openSUSE Leap Cons →

"Whenever there is an update, a black screen appears which is due to patches being installed in the background.""Windows 11 needs to improve the speed with which it loads programs""Windows 11 is quite expensive compared to other products.""The driver updates for the solution could be better.""The product should focus more on security, particularly Outlook. It should also look into pricing since people will stop using it after a while if the prices are high.""When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11.""Windows 11 has a terrible snipping tool. It seems to be quite buggy. The previous version that came with Windows 10 is better.""The user interface could be easier to operate when searching for more options."
