Power to tumbleweed!!
Jokes aside, incredible distro, super smooth stable and a huge repository. And outside of the US control, that in those days counts like several points.

MODERATORS
Would be interesting what the overall percentage of general performance gain of CachyOS and/or OpenSUSE over Ubuntu are. It still seems rather negligible.
They have the Geo Mean at the end. Converting to percentage:
100% Ubuntu
106% Fedora Workstation
107% OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
113% CachyOS
Thanks!
Are there plans to rename openSUSE? (Due to request by SUSE?)
Yes there are, but haven't heard when they plan to make the change.
Suse requested they change names...?
Yeah, they did. Probably because OpenSuSE is better known than SuSE at this point. Yet it'll stay the base for SuSE. It makes some sense I guess - Fedora is the base for RedHat for example. It is a bit confusing and complicated for an open source project to share branding with a commercial project; probably quite restricting for OpenSuSE. But a rebrand is also messy itself.
It's also weird, since OpenSUSE Leap uses the exact same binaries as SLES. Specifically to make it easier to start off with the open version and transition to paid SLES without reinstalling
