It looks like OpenSuSE has decided to deprecate Leap,

stability over gee-whiz features and eye-candy?

Even though you've already got several responses, I will add my recommendation
for Devuan or Debian. Having gone through PC Linux, Kubuntu (or variations of
other 'Buntus), as well as trying out dozens of other distros, I like exactly
that about Debian; that it's stable, doesn't change much (unless really
necessary), and you get to make your own eye-candy.
And now, Devuan has become even more true to the Debian philosophy than Debian
itself, and I find that I spend less time maintaining my system, so that I
can use it for other things in real life. I don't want to become a slave to
the machines.
However ... I always do keep an eye out for some new distro that may have
something better to offer. I keep wanting to run Whonix, but I first I need
to find a better place to live. So then, back to Devuan, which is simple and
just works.
