You know, I was actually considering earlier this evening to buy https://en.opensuse.org/Buy_openSUSE but unfortunately there's only a German version of 15.3. Would be cool to have a physical version even if it was just for show. But hey, maybe they'll release a version for 15.5.
Can't you upgrade it yourself after installing?
Only after Installieren... seriously though, I don't know if you can select other installation languages (I think so?), but if not, it can be a non-starter for most. I couldn't check as the actual purchase site didn't load at all for me.
Hmm I guess it's OpenSUS after all.
To be honest, it'd mostly be to have it on the shelf. I don't even have an optical disc drive in my current pc, I was just thinking, it'd be a neat way to support the cause while getting something to show for it. So I guess the version doesn't matter too much, I'd just prefer the language to not being German.

Gotta love a good manual. I still have a DOS 6.0 manual lying around, even though I can use kcharselect to look up ANSI characters now.
