Hi!
I see there is a version that works with the Raspberry Pi 3 so I’m wondering if a version for Raspberry Pi 4 is in the works since the image for Raspberry Pi 3 doesn’t seem to work â get no video when attempting to start up.
Or is the version for Pi 3 supposed to work with Pi 4?

Hi and welcome to the Forum
AFAIK current releases won’t work on the RPi4, I only have RPi3’s here and are working with SLES 15 SP2 beta. If you join the beta perhaps more information is available?

Before you insert a sd card with SUSE Linux Enterprise in any Raspberry Pi you should check the hardware requirements information in the documents “Raspberry Pi Quick Start” and “Release Notes”:
https://documentation.suse.com/
I recommend as operating system for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B “Ubuntu Server” from Canonical:
https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi
SUSE Linux Enterprise use the official Linux Kernel from Linux Kernel Organization (www.kernel.org) for all ARM devices (with u-boot and GRUB)
https://www.suse.com/media/article/UEFI_on_Top_of_U-Boot.pdf
Ubuntu Server use a modified Linux Kernel from Raspberry Pi Foundation for all Raspberry Pi images (with u-boot and direct kernel image loading).

As you can read from “Mister SUSE Linux Enterprise Beta” (Vincent Moutoussamy) in SUSE Blog:
https://www.suse.com/c/author/gameboy974/
SLE 15 SP2 will include the Linux 5.3 kernel. For USB ports usage on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B you need PCIe support from Linux kernel. You can except PCIe support for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in Linux 5.6 kernel (=> see table “Upstream status”):
https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/issues/43
Be aware that Canonical don’t support software packages with parts of the modified Linux Kernel from Raspberry Pi Foundation or firmware images:
[CODE]# su
=> Unsupported:
flash-kernel linux-firmware-raspi2 linux-headers-5.3.0-1018-raspi2

The usage of Raspberry Pi as a desktop replacement is (yet) not recommendable. There is still missing open and stable:
for the faster Raspberry Pi boards.

=> I wish “good luck” with GDM and GNOME3 without stable 3D hardware acceleration!
Even the fastest Raspberry Pi boards have no hardware support for some important security features:
[{“insert”:"SLES15 SP2 (currently in beta) will add support for Raspberry Pi 4. I don’t think SLED has ever been supported on a Pi though no reason you couldn’t add the GUI to SLES to make it SLED!

Sounds interesting!
