It uses KDE, which comes with a boatload of graphical tools to manage your system settings.
Then it adds YaST, which is another boatload of graphical tools to manage basically everything. (It’s in the name, “yet another system tool”)
So with OpenSUSE, you have 3 different GUI tools to add a printer.
It’s probably the one distro I’d recommend to someone who never wants to touch the command line, because for everything you might want to do with your OS they built a graphical tool.
Package management also offers a lot of options, like automatically updating a package from multiple repos while checking in the background which version is the most recent that doesn’t break your system.
Or “switching” a package to a different repo without reinstalling it. You can install user-provided packages (similar to Arch’s AUR) from the GUI. It discerns between Updates and Patches. And so on.
So in my opinion, Arch is like a kit car and OpenSUSE is like a Benz with ALL OF THE OPTIONS and a plastic cover over the engine bay.
