The reasons for openSUSE probably in order of importance (and also why I
don't recommend it further)
1. It has never been deemed stable enough to have an official release.
2. It doesn't seem to be actively maintained (from memory its a couple
of years since people were working on it).
3. I don't know if it launches E properly with systemd user sessions, if
it does its certainly not well tested
4. It doesn't support wayland and there has been talk of making
something new rather then using wayland support.
5. It hasn't been tested on a wide range of distro's and may not be well
adapted. In openSUSE's case for example I'd need to make some
modifications as we have 1 Display-Manager service which launches the
correct display manager based off a config file rather then shipping a
service file / init script for each.
6. (openSUSE only) on openSUSE we use Lightdm for everything not
gnome/kde so its well intergrated into our auto test stuff and well
maintained.
Were 1-4 fixed i'd probably put some effort in with a maintainers help
to getting it working, but at no time in the last 2 years has this
seemed likely.
