I always hear opensuse is a really great distro with features and lot of gui accessible settings (starting services, and apps,etc) not available anywhere else, really good stability and the latest packages unlike any Debian based distro, but in the same time they say it's not newbie friendly so am kinda not sure if i want to use it.
I would say there's a lot that makes it a good choice for new users.
Yast itself gives you a lot of admin tasks in a gui.
You have btrfs with snapshots out the box.
The installer allows you to install multiple de's and enable propriety software.
Obs let's you find everything you need software wise.
The biggest issue is knowing it's all there.
