From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sadly Zypper isn't really faster. From my experience, pacman is really the best package manager. But if you still want to try Opensuse. There's also Leap. It's a stable release distro, though it mostly uses LTS ⁄ stable software as it's a clone of SUSE enterprise, while Fedora mostly gets cutting edge software when a new release hits.
I was thinking about tumbleweed intead of leap because of its rolling nature
