openSUSE Tumbleweed makes for a good desktop and even one for gaming, but for a workstation or server, you're going to want either SUSE Leap or Enterprise.
Sadly, SUSE is really trying to push their immutable systems with transactional updates. And unfortunately, that will soon include openSUSE Leap.
I will give credit where credit is due. SUSE will allow some binaries to run from /home, but /opt is questionable. The development seems to be on the fence on that.
