You don’t have to use patterns on Tumbleweed (and maybe Slowroll also?), if you don’t like them. It’s just a handy shortcut to get most, but not all, relevant packages.

use what you like and fits your needs.
Just a few words, Tumbleweed is great but fast moving – if you can’t find something in the Wiki ask at the Forum, there is a bunch of helpful people.
My Experience with Gnome and KDE was good, but i use Xfce for a while and do most common things like installing, upgrades and so on using the Terminal. Looks like Myrlyn is a good GUI Option for this too, but i can’t say anything about it from own experience.
Oh, and yes, snapper has got you covered if something goes wrong during upgrades. Just don’t forget to do backups, just in case.
Whatever you do, have fun.
Oh okay, sounds weird indeed and not normal. I use Tumbleweed and its mostly smooth sailing, after a steep learning curve for me. You should be good with Mint, there is not much difference between Distributions for Causal Gaming. Newer Hardware can be a show stopper with not so up to date Distributions.
Out of interest, which openSUSE distribution did you use?

Hmm, i can’t help you with debian. I had vala app menu working with Xfce also in the past, but don’t use it anymore.
Safari has reader mode too, for a very long time.
No one would spend more than 100 hours in that beautiful boring little one map early access non AAAA game. absolute no one. ☺️
(development goes to balancing and bug fixes afaik)

It is possible to lock packages an those would not be reinstalled, even if they are part of a pattern -
zypper rm foo,zypper al foo, thats it. Yes, the list of addlocked packages could be long depending on the starting point. But users have full control over everything what gets installed in the first place.I have decided i don’t care much about patterns. There is no perfect distribution, but tumbleweed is pretty close for me.
