Just learned about it recently. It has received a lot of praise as a rolling release distro. Also it uses runit instead of systemd.

It has been praised also for being more stable and better designed than Arch.

And I wonder how it compares to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed,

Oh that's interesting. I'd have never bumped into that DE stores thing.

Yeah, its probably not applicable to most folks, but I like browsing packages with images, icons, and descriptions, so for me its a tradeoff.

I believe there was one or more graphical package managers but they were QT based or otherwise not GTK and I was using gnome (I know, I care too much how things look lol), and I don't know if they were actively being maintained. I know there was more than one at one time, but I wanna say one of them got abandoned, and I'm not actually sure if the other was being actively developed anymore either by the time I was playing with void
