I was at a conference on this type of topic. It was geared towards IT students and the presenter made everyone sign a waiver coming in and told everyone not to use their computer in that room. (Smartphones weren't super popular yet)
Anyone who jacked into the ethernet ports had their Facebook and Skype "hacked" and the presenter changed their picture to himself.
It was a wonderful experience seeing all the chaos that ensued. That kind of automated mitm attack won't work like that these days but maybe something to that tune.
Edit: plus it's a good lesson to read and comprehend what you're signing.
I've been using tumbleweed for awhile and I would be hesitant to suggest it to a new user unless they are comfortable with solving technical problems and learning how to take advantage of its recovery features. (Such as btrfs snapshots)
It's got some out of the box issues where you're expected to research and understand how to solve them. (Like many other distros) Where I've found Ubuntu just simply works or its just a few clicks away from working.
Things like the backlight on laptops not responding, codec support (needing to use packman repo), Nvidia support (has improved significantly over the years).
And with the nature of tumbleweed there's so many frequent updates, plus you're expected to understand how to resolve zypper package concerns.
Great OS, most issues I've had, have been solved.
I am currently battling with it to properly support my 9070xt /w rocm. (Mostly working but unstable)
Lots of RAM and a good cpu, benefits from cores. if you're comfortable with it being on the slow side.
There's other versions of that model optimized for lower vram conditions too.
But for better performance 8GB of vram minimum.
