Snapper is a big deal. Second, SUSE has Btrfs developers. This is the reason why it supports the filesystem and Red Hat not. Also Canonical doesn't support Btrfs it well.
OpenSUSE loses Snapper if you don't go with the default BTRFS setup iirc (as in, you still use BTRFS but change subvols and such). IIRC, setting up Snapper isn't too difficult, the integration with GRUB requires a patch, but some other distros have that. I'm more interested in the less obvious additions related to BTRFS.
I'm not saying it's not a great choice for default BTRFS setup though

better choice to download image, and install from usb key..... then having a issue with network
Some USB media can be quite slow to install from though too, but that's more of an issue with old USB 2.0 sticks with really poor I/O performance (eg 1-2MB/sec).

Probably want to also consider network speed? Or is that not relevant with tumbleweed installs?

OpenSUSE Leap 15.3 is "based on the Jump concept" and does provide "a whole new level of harmony"...

On the other hand, I seem to come back to Tumbleweed every so often. I get a Chromium integrated with VAAPI patches there, the distro is usually well-tested and I can compile a custom kernel as a package quite easily. The only downside is that I couldn't get llvm-polly to work, the package seems to be broken.
I tried the new Manjaro release yesterday but couldn't work around a SSL certificate error which prevented me from upgrading to the newest packages. Picking other mirrors didn't help as they lacked three packages which were newer and pacman refused to update entirely. Great! I haven't had these kind of issues with Tumbleweed and similiar issues two to three times with Manjaro during the last few years already. Manjaro just isn't polished enough it seems (btw I didn't encounter this issue with RC1 and RC2, just the release version).
