I tried to set up an OpenSuSE PC earlier this year.  I could never get
Mythtv to work.  That's when I started using either Debian or Endeavour OS.
I find I can set up a VM with just the mythbackend running and I can just
choose whatever VM OS runs mythtv the best.  All Distros support VM so
that's easy.
