> I’ll look into OpenSUSE as a potential alternative You could do worse! I've worked with OpenSuse for a few years and I really like the people involved. They're stand-out in that they're European based (no bad thing in today's uncertain world if you're not American yourself.) They're a german organisation but the employees are spread through Europe and further afield and they're a really, really small concern, but IME, they genuinely care about doing the right thing, even if that comes before financial growth. One example of that is their tutoring programs and, unlike many organisations even in the FOSS world, I get the feeling they genuinely uphold their [guiding principles](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Guiding_principles) I use Debian myself at home and at work and it's my go-to for everything, but if it didn't exist, OpenSuse would probably be the next on my list and although I'm not working with them at present, I would happily do so again.

Funny to read. I recently came to the same conclusion and downloaded openSUSE yesterday. At the moment I am waiting for a time slot to install it.

Why don't you look into projects that aren't related to a company? Aren't Ubuntu, fedora, and open suse the 3 that have corporate support? There are plenty of distros out there that are stable on the Debian branch and a lot of interesting projects on the Arch branch as well.
