From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From OpenSUSE there's also leap micro. Never used it, but maybe worth looking at.
If you don't like fedora it might still be worth trying one of the fedora atomics, depending on what you didn't like. For instance, I could never get used to dnf, but it's largely irrelevant on an atomic distro anyways.
I would love to see a true atomic Debian-based distro, but I think that's a long way from maturity.
Edit: opensuse aeon will also be released soon, but at least the comments on this post seem to think that there's some important things missing from Suse atomic.
I heard of it, but it seems more server/development focused, rather than desktop.
100% agree, dnf is a bummer. Maybe I'll give Kinoite a shot, as it has many differences with "vanilla" Fedora.
What started as openSUSE Micro Desktop is now openSUSE Aeon. It's still RC2, and RC3 will probably be easier to do a clean install since it will add full disk encryption, but if you want to check it out now it's reliable and works well.
Ahhh gotcha. The websites don't give a good indication of that, unfortunately. Trying to find the differences between OpenSUSE flavors was surprisingly hard. Thanks for the info!
In recent turn of events, openSUSE Aeon will probably just be Aeon, and the name openSUSE will disappear everywhere.
