It is. It's a rolling release so it has the latest packages. It's not bleeding edge like arch. All software goes thru an automatic testing in OpenQA before they are allowed in the repo so there's some quality control. It's also very stable.

I'm on the Other category, both for home and work. I use Tumbleweed in both.
I'm in the EU and that section in the settings isn't even there. I guess they aren't doing it here, for now at least. Probably due to GDPR.
Filen is good. Works like a charm. Back in the days I got their pay once for 100GB of storage package and am very happy about it. Looks like they have the starter 100GB lifetime available still i.e. pay only once.
Have you tried Okular?
Valve releasing Proton.
I use that myself though haven't sent a sms/mms in like > 10 years. Anyhow FOSS > stock spyware any day. The fossify project has many other useful tools as well.
Under GDPR this kind of data collection and sharing HAS to be opt-in i.e. with an informed consent. You can't just bury it in your TOS and/or privacy policy. The user has to be explicitly shown what they are collection, on what basis they are doing it and how they are using it, then give the user the choice to accept or decline that, and they have to respect that decision.
Best Fallout game ever.
Here's what I got when I upgraded: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kn3hsL. In addition I have two sata ssds (1 TB & 2 TB) for data storage. It's similar to yours. For me performance was the priority. Doing most of my gaming on Linux.
Edit: As the ram in my build are expo models they run at 6000 MHz. No instabilities.
SUSE Linux Enterprise isn't really a fork. OpenSuse Leap is to SLE a bit like Fedora is to Red Hat i.e. the community version which is then frozen at some point to build SLE.
