Not OP, but I've been running TW for... 5-ush years now, I think, and it's been great. Even when I still had Nvidia hardware and sometimes ran into a kernel being too new or whatever it was that made the Nvidia driver shit the bed: roll back to the previous snapshot, wait for a couple of days. Apart from that it's been pretty much rock solid.

The only thing I might switch to, is Kalpa.

I recently changed from EndeavourOS to Tumbleweed and I couldn't be happier. Very fast and stable.

It comes with more, lets say, "bloat" than an normal Arch-based distro, but nothing that you can't remove if you feel like it.

If you use KDE, it has one of the best integrations in my view. You can use zapper (tumbleweed version of pacman), and even though you loose AUR packages you have OBS (OpenSUSE Build Service).

There is very good documentation for it also, but nothing beats Arch wiki.

I gave it a go today but not all hardware on my laptop would work. It doesn’t work in Fedora either without RPM Fusion though.

I couldn’t find any way to get IPU6 firmware for webcam to work nor any opensuse stuff for it. Kind of surprising they don’t support it since most every laptop is starting to ship with em.

Ubuntu and Fedora both are pretty painless to get it to work.

So far it's good and stable. But to be fair I only have it installed for about 3 weeks. Before that, I played with it in a virtual machine for a month. I decided to test it because I wanted a KDE focused Distro and OpenSuse was recommended to me. Watched this review and gave it a try. Quite happy so far but I may switch to Vanilla OS, should it get a KDE version. I ended up preferring Flatpaks anyway and a Distro that doesn't allow me to accidentally bork my system, sounds good to my causal ears 😉.
