Especially if you're coming from the RPM ecosystem of SUSE anyway, Fedora might be a better choice (yum and now dnf are much, much nicer than zypper). Overall Fedora probably isn't different enough from SUSE to be worth you investing time in investigating the switch - Arch or even something like Void however might well be. The first free day I get is going to be dedicated to wiping Ubuntu, which has been my usual main OS on/off - mostly on - since Dapper from my workstation and switching to any Linux distro that sucks less. So basically, anything. And that's even though a lot of my custom build stuff, scripting and personal tweaking is all extensively geared around the Ubuntu platform and will need plenty of work to move across: it will be totally worth it. I'd love to stick with an apt-based Linux if possible, but Debian is now also systemd-laden and the packages are hopelessly out-of-date unless you run Sid, which I have done many times before and really liked until it inevitably broke catastrophically. Not a fit for my main workstation sadly. Realistically, I think it'll probably be Arch replacing it when push comes to shove.
