I'm still work to bring guile2.2 to openSUSE. The problem is that
autogen 5.18.14 has no guile2.2 support, the new release of autogen
5.18.16 should have it. I'm still trying to get it building...

The whole status of guix with guile2.2 on openSUSE can be found here.
Not that it's very work-in-progress:
