[Colchester] The state of OpenSUSE

[Martyn]

OpenSUSE is the free arm of SUSE (Software Und System Entwicklung) which 
was created by German students.

I know a little about openSUSE as I did use it for several years, but I 
found it very clunky at times, particularly when trying to get things to 
work through wine or a virtualbox.

Mint just worked with almost everything I wanted too do, but now, I'm 
back to learning how to make things happen in Manjaro and kinda enjoying 
it while missing that Mint convenience of it just working.
