Remember, though, that what I am talking about here is openSuSE Leap, which is their stable distribution. This difference will increase as time goes by, because Fedora gets frequent updates so that it stays on (or close to) the leading edge, while openSuSE Leap focuses much more on stability and continuity.

Fedora is more of an aggressively 'leading edge' distribution, so in various places it has newer packages than openSuSE Leap - for example, Linux kernel 4.2.5 in Fedora and 4.1.12 in openSuSE. Once the distributions are installed, you can start to see some of the differences between them.

The Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter is also not supported in the openSuSE Leap base installation, but after adding the packman repositories, I was able to download and install the driver and it is working just fine. After installing Fedora 23, and adding the rpmfusion repositories (both free and non-free), it is still not recognized.

This is a well known trouble spot, and I mentioned it in my original post about that system, but it had been working with Fedora 22. I have run into only one operational problem, with Fedora 23 on my Acer Aspire E11, which has a Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter. I have installed both of them on a variety of systems of both types, and I have not had any installation problems. Both of these distributions support MBR (Legacy Boot) and UEFI systems, and on UEFI they both support Secure Boot.
