"I use openSUSE Leap as the base for the Kubernetes cluster we run in-house.""The most valuable feature by far has been the virtualization capabilities of the operating system.""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.""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.""openSUSE Leap has helped me with using containers in Podman.""Stable - it just runs without the necessity to reboot."

Cons
"Setting up anything resembling a shared inbox is still kind of a giant pain in the solution.""They need to deal with their memory management.""You still need to have a pretty good understanding of GCP to deploy it properly.""The solution could be made cheaper.""The solution's interface is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.""Chromebooks are hard to find in the Indonesian market.""Google Chrome Enterprise doesn't use AI in its solution.""I wish there was a way that they could update things a little less often if anything. I think a lot of enterprise customers are frustrated... Certain plug-ins like ad blockers will lose some functionality in the next quarter to half a year."

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