PTC always publishes future platform support to their knowledgebase:

https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Windchill_PDMLink/compatibility/WindchillFuturePlatformSupportSummary.pdf?sc_lang=en&source=search

I suggest checking that link out. Appear to only support RHEL. Now one of two things will occur. The installer will detect that its not RHEL and not let you continue or it will not care that its SUSE Linux and you can proceed ahead. What I can assure you is that PTC will not support you and never run that for production. But hey, this is Java based, it should run anywhere. It might be possible to install on RHEL and then slide to to SUSE Linux later. I was successful at moving Windchill in the past for SunOS to RHEL, only needed to reinstall Java and Apache. However, you are likely to have problems when attempting CPS updates and forget tech support.

Have you tried searching the PTC support KB yet?

I found this article with the answer.

Thanks, Marco, for your reply,

I have gone through it but just want to be sure as if there are any recent updates or any new suggestion from experts.
