FYI, when fighting sourhogs, you need to wear reinforced goggles. You can buy them from the slayer master. In the Porcine of Interest quest, they should give you a pair for free.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is my daily driver. I recommend it to most people. It's a nice balance of leading edge and stability. Plus, snapper makes it easy to rollback if an update borks something.
