In OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (currently as an option), support for the systemd-boot bootloader is introduced as an alternative to GNU GRUB. According to the official version of the developers, switching to Systemd-Boot will enhance boot speed and strengthen the security of the boot process. The developers also expect that the transition to systemd-boot will simplify and improve the efficiency of working with full disk encryption, as well as ease the handling of snapshots in the Btrfs filesystem.
It should be noted that systemd-boot does not support Master Boot Record. If in the future systemd-boot becomes the only boot option, it will be impossible to run OpenSUSE on older PCs without a UEFI emulator like Clover.
