Now that you come to mention it, I have a vague memory of a few distros doing that because of licencing issues.
Fedora and OpenSuSe are both forks of commercial distros
It's a bit more complicated than that with openSUSE. Tumbleweed is a snapshot of the Factory repo that's put through automated testing, and if it passes, it is released straight away. Suse Enterprise Linux is also a snapshot of the Factory repo that's put through a polishing process and when it's ready, released. Leap is a community fork of Suse Enterprise Linux.
Both Tumbleweed and Leap are good, the former if you want bang up to date software and the latter if you prefer older software in a more stable, as in unchanging, distro.
The distro itself is OK, and it's fine if you switch to their "unstable" repositories so it directly mirrors Arch. Where the problems lie is in the admin. In the past they have:
They seem to have sorted themselves out as their have been no reports of mistakes recently. But trust once lost, is hard to regain.
Oh. You could be right.
This feature is on by default, but can be turned off if you preferred the older style.
Help people install Linux.
@OP, I'd be prepared for very few people to show up. I've only taken part in one install party and we had five people turn up the whole evening, and two of them decided not to go for it.
