Although not mentioned very often, openSUSE is also a user friendly,
stable and high quality distro. I am a user since 2005 and have seldom
had any problem in all those years. As for QGIS and other geotools there
is the Application:Geo repository that is well updated and maintained.
My choice however is to compile QGIS from source every once in a while.
It is not so difficult as it sounds but perhaps not everyone's cup of tea.

Hello,
QGIS from Ubuntu repositories are generally very outdated. For that
reason, we always suggest you to add a QGIS project PPA repository and
install a more recent version.
Here you can find instructions on how to add the QGIS PPA repository
in ubuntu based machines and install QGIS 3.14:
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#quickstart
If you want to install QGIS 3.10 LTR, which I suggest you do, you will
need to read about the different repositories bellow. Basically, you
need to replace the URL in the quickstart instructions by this one:
https://qgis.org/ubuntu-ltr

I moved from Win to Linux about a year ago. I tried
Ubuntu first. Due to difficulties installing QGIS
I moved to Mint, which worked immediately from the
software manager with an older version if I remember
correcly. I worked quite a while on installing QGIS
on Ubuntu because I really wanted to use Ubuntu.
You can go back to 10/19/2019 in the list archives, or
you can see the discussion here:
