openSUSE Tumbleweed is my daily driver. I recommend it to most people. It's a nice balance of leading edge and stability. Plus, snapper makes it easy to rollback if an update borks something.

FYI, when fighting sourhogs, you need to wear reinforced goggles. You can buy them from the slayer master. In the Porcine of Interest quest, they should give you a pair for free.
