openSUSE believes the best results come from people collaborating and having fun. Being different from other open-source communities is what makes openSUSE desirable. We are not the conventional community and our community’s efforts determines the path of the project. The efforts of the community have created several great tools for Linux and an awesome distribution. With openSUSE, you have a voice and can easily contribute to the project. Whether you are an experienced Linux developer or an end user get involved in the openSUSE project. Join a forum, maintain and keep our wiki up-to-date, find and report bugs, review the documentation, send your wish list for new packages and features, create and submit patches, or become an advocate for openSUSE by attending events and becoming an ambassador.

Donations to support the openSUSE project are always welcomed. In fact, Open Build Service, which is used by several other open-source projects, was made available to the project’s community through a generous donation of servers by AMD. It is this type of donations that allows people and projects to thrive, develop, innovate and progress. The project is not asking for money, but donations of hardware to use the open-source community’s expertise to empower Linux development, provide openSUSE tools to the free, open source ecosystem and give back to developers, sysadmins and packagers. Hardware helps the openSUSE community! Hardware helps the open-source community! And Hardware helps Linux development. To learn how you can donate hardware to the openSUSE project, email
openSUSE Desktop Distributions
Rolling release with the latest packages provided by the openSUSE Project.
Leap
For Sysadmins, Enterprise Developers, and ‘Regular’ Desktop Users
Regular release with the benefits of both enterprise-grade engineering and community-developed innovation.
KDE Plasma 5
GNOME 3
Xfce Desktop 4
Many desktops, three by default
The openSUSE contribution process empowers desktop development for everybody, so you have the choice to pick your favourite one in the installer. We actively feature three desktop environments, and offer even more in the expanded software view within the installer.
Getting software couldn’t be easier
Between us, having to go through every website to get all the software you might need is a lot of work. The online software center makes this way easier, by incorporating software from a plethora of sources in one place.
Everything is transparent
From start to finish, every package which goes into the distributions has all of its sources and build scripts openly visible for everyone to see. Doubtful of a source? Just check it out on the build service.
Free software? Your choice
Packages in the distributions are divided into free and non-free repositories. Don’t want to use non-free packages? You can easily disable the non-free repository. It’s your choice, not ours.
Welcoming contributions
We try our best to please the community, and we can only make this happen when the community is vocal about what they need. That’s why we ensure contributing is as easy as possible.
YaST, the best choice for the power user
One of the greatest system configuration tools helps you, the user, to setup every single aspect of your system. You no longer need to go through a plethora of configuration scripts or enter dubious commands to get the system setup as you need it.
