Thanks for your feedback.
I think I might stick with Debian after all. Tumbleweed is nice and all, but I quickly ran into some issues for finding third party proprietary software packages. There isn't as big a user base either. So finding help when things go bad is a bit more difficult. Otherwise I think it's a great distro. Much better than arch anyway as far as rolling releases go. And a lot easier to use.
Debian might require a bit more manual work, but I'm pretty used to that distro. So it won't be a big challenge. And I don't mind my software being a little behind if it means I get to use my desktop instead of troubleshooting.
