I’d like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).

I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along… I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it’s holding me back a bit.

What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

    Debian. I always come back to Debian.

    It’s just a rock solid, multipurpose distro that has everything. If you have an issue with some older software versions, you can just track testing or sid and treat it as rolling release or use flatpaks for GUI apps.

    To me, Debian is almost perfect.

      I wouldn’t call it rock solid… It was running old versions of kde with lots of bugs. Bugs that had been fixed months ago.

      So I don’t know. It’s good we have choice but I don’t personally see Debian as more stable than arch. I see it as having older bugs than arch.

        KDE could fix 80% of it’s bugs overnight and it will still be the most bug-ridden DE by a longshot

          Yep, most features and most bugs. I go back and forth between kde and Gnome when a bug annoys me too much.
