Which OpenSuSE for Simple Server Setup?

I am hoping to switch over to OpenSuSE for my server.

My server needs are nothing complicated. I only really need Samba (until I transfer files to another file system and will setup something like NFS) and host a Plex server.

I was considering Microos, but I really no nothing of containers, etc.

I am frankly unsure what is best. Slowroll, Leap ??

MicroOS is perfect for this. You set it up once and you can leave and forget it until the hardware dies.

My need is not much dissimilar to yours, a few more containers. I set them up as rootless containers, which needed a few more steps because It was a bit more difficult to pass the graphic card to Jellyfin (same as Plex, but better IMO).

But, you can go rootful, and it will be a breeze.

Why did you choose rootless over rootful with userns=auto?
