SUSE has its line of business in servers and cloud computing. Opensuse has desktop users as its main asset. Not wanting the company's name to appear on the distribution is because the typical users of the two are increasingly different, as well as suspecting that Leap will not continue as SLE's 1:1 solution.
Suse's decision not to have its name on the distribution means that it will be increasingly distanced from the community distribution, which is primarily run by Suse employees, so it is the company's decisions that will shape the future of the distribution.
A company's decisions are based on the benefits of its line of business, not on the benefits of the community outside its customers. This is a statement of intent that in my opinion breaks the relationship of trust between company-community.
It is time to look for another distribution, the chameleon has focused on its profits rather than on the benefits for the community.

You can install Firefox from Mozilla's own repository. It is a luxury to have in Debian a Mozilla repository to install Firefox.
My experience with Arch+Gnome has been problematic with Gnome version changes. When I upgraded to Gnome 46, the system wouldn't boot. I have had several problems related to grub and aur, so a few months ago I decided to abandon Arch for good. I need a distro that works for me, not me for the distro.
Great news, but I would put more effort into making Anaconda a faster and more intuitive installer.
If you want to learn about Arch, I recommend you to use ArcoLinux, a distribution that uses the direct Arch repositories (unlike Manjaro) and serves to acquire knowledge about Arch.
The main difference between Arch and Tumbleweed, apart from the package type, is the update system. Tumbleweed does it through snapshots, which allows you to use the openQA automatic test to test the snapshot before sending it to the community. Arch upgrades on a package-by-package basis, regardless of the other packages that are part of the system.
I am 100% happy. I use a rolling distro, secure (firewall+apparmor), stable (snapshots tested through openQA) and easily revert to a previous snapshot (snapper). Yes, I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed and in my opinion there is no rolling distro that offers all these features.
Excellent news about Aeon and the development of an own installer. The last time I installed Aeon it didn't allow automatic user login, is this possible anymore? Thanks
The only AMD (A10-7700K) that has given me problems with wayland uses by default the old radeon driver. I switched to the amdgpu driver and everything was solved.
