Linux Mint 6.0 vs Linux openSUSE 11.1?

I'm a linux newbie and i can't decide which of these distributions is best for me. I'm considering mint since it has flash video enabled on it by default but i'm also considering SUSE since i hear it's easier to use and has more drivers readily available for usb devices.

Linux Mint 6.0 vs Linux openSUSE 11.1 ? This is almost a Gnome vs KDE question.

Driver support is far better for Mint with much Hardware being detected automatically and I have not known of any issues with USB devices. If there is an issue then you can consult the Official Ubuntu USB Devices Documentation which will apply to Mint as well https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB

Mint doesn't have much 'eye candy' ??? You must be joking right. It comes with Compiz 0.7.8 and if anything its too much 'eye candy' for me

My preference is the older minimalistic Beryl 0.2.1 which I have running on my Mint 6 custom LiveDVD http://www.beryl-project.org/features.php

Here is how if you are interested.

Piratesmacks deb. packages to install Beryl 0.2.1 on Mint 6

extract beryl tar.bz2

install debs.

I have worked with both OpenSUSE 11 and Mint 6 and the latter wins hands down for me.

But it really comes down to Gnome vs KDE doesn't it.
