In November of 2021 we confirmed that LAC's "AppImage" binary version runs on Open SUSE desktop LINUX with no need to compile from source code. We were using a generic Open SUSE version ("openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_Snapshot211121-Media.iso") as published on Open SUSE's website. We did NOT install any additional applications, libraries, or proprietary drivers. We were using the simplest, most generic, least-enhanced version we could configure.
Performance was not very good on that generic installation, with frame rates about half of what we see on a Raspberry Pi model 4b at equivalent graphic detail. However, we are confident that users that are more skilled with Open SUSE's myriad configuration optimizations will see much better performance because Open SUSE enjoys a good reputation.
This forum is for discussion of related subjects for those using LAC on Open SUSE platforms, including:
compiling LAC from source code
optimizing Open SUSE for better performance with LAC
....and anything else that's unique to the combination of LAC and Open SUSE.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This bug seems to be related to certain display adapters, independent of LINUX distro variants. Those that suffer from this bug experience very slow, cumbersome response to mouse movement when LAC's menus are displayed.
The published workaround (navigating LAC's menus with keyboard arrow keys on the numeric keypad as documented in that FAQ #25 entry) should help with this problem. Please let us know if it works for you. Thanks.

We received one report where a user of Open SUSE suffers from the bug described in LAC FAQ #25 as published here:
