Arch is relatively great, but anyone who’s used it for a while has had what should of been a simple update turn into a giant headache. Debian can minimize headaches but you give up the latest software for it. OpenSUSE just feels like the middle ground. You can run the latest software and spend less time sifting through forums because of an update. As a bonus you can always fall back on RPM packages, which can give a tiny bit more software compatibility than the AUR.

IMO OpenSUSE is what Manjaro wants to be lol

Well, that’s how it feels at times, as someone who uses all 3 for various uses.
