Personally, I would say Debian every time, but it is horses for courses.
I started on SuSE. I stuck it for a while, and then could take it no longer.
I actually loathed YaST (the package manager). I then, more recently, used
it for my granddaughter's laptop. I still dislike it.
I moved on to Libranet, a super distro, based on Debian. It actually used
Debian Sarge repositories (software "warehouses".) So I simply went on using
it until Sarge became obsolete.
The I moved onto Debian proper. That was some years ago. I still love it and
find it simple to run - until I try to do something obscure. ;-) Contrary to
what you will hear, Debian is now very simple to install, if oyu just want to
plug and play. you can use the defaults all teh way to a functioning distro.
You then have the choice of stopping tehre, or moving on. Debian will be
great for either.
I am on the Debian list because I use - and love - Debian, not on Debian
because I use the list.
You would get different answers on the SuSE list. As I said, it is horses for
courses. We are all different and we like different things!
