Tumbleweed somehow gives me the newest Plasma with neither configuration nor manual dependency resolution exhaustion. It is not perfect either but it squares the circle of a stable rolling release distro surprisingly well.
Fedora is just a straight line, as I've found.
"Step-Operating-System what are you doing!?"
Install a random distro once a week for the next 6 months.
Slackware in 2026? Didn't know it was still around
Yeah, but in my experience it isn't great. Salix is a lot nicer.
Of course, your mileage may vary. There are definitely still a lot of true slackers out there!
This is why you need to have 2 computers. One to run a boring distro that just works. And the other one for installing distros that you can ride for fun as it goes down in flames.
The best of both worlds.
"Manual configuration is exhausting" my brother in christ that's the whole fun of having a fucking computer
My Arch install has had no issues upgrading for years, even with the big KDE updates
The answer: Fedora
You're welcome.
But I donβt want to use American software π€·
Opensuse is also great: Like Fedora its rpm-based and backed by a corpo and with Tumbleweed you'll get a nice rolling release experience without worries that it's gonna bork itself

Fedora is the best. My friend who recently started using Linux persuades me to install NixOS (which I've already tried 2 years ago), but I really can't leave Fedora. Everything just works and are up to date.

For my bare metal personal systems, I just use Debian stable with backports. When that does not suffice, I manually build and install things from source.
Time to learn kernel maintenance
@mech I use Void Linux on my old laptop from 2007 and it's fine enough for me. If I'll change Windows to Linux on my main PC though, I'll pick something Debian-based (but not Ubuntu-based), because I need something balanced and with lots of software available to download.
CachyOS
Come to Mint. We're standing by X11, and Cinnamon looks better than Plasma.
