Thx in advice.
linux mint
More specifically, Linux Mint Debian Edition. Canonical has been very weird, I would get the debian based branch
My vote is Linux Mint. I had installed it on a family members laptop and have been going strong for years without fault.
Fedora
You could give fedora a try
Ubuntu or Linux Mint
Pop!_OS or Fedora
Fedora oddly doesn’t ship LTS kernels if you are looking for more stability
They test and maintain their own kernel tree instead. I find this advantageous for Workstation use which tends to be on newer hardware than servers.
Despite this Fedora is the furthest distro from unstable that I have experienced, which is why I recommend it as a “no frills” option.
I would not recommend Fedora or Pop for servers.
Don’t know which one to recommend but I would never recommend Ubuntu. It is full of bugs to me. I used it for years without issues but now it is impossible for me. Installed it on my girlfriend’s laptop recently and she has the same bugs I had years ago when I dropped it : network disconnects randomly and she has to reboot, bluetooth won’t reconnect sometimes… I can help but it is definitely not working out of the box for users who are not into tech.
Pop_OS or Linux Mint. Both just work. The Atomic idea is nice, but still too soon for complete beginners or the lazy (not a pejorative).
I’ve got PopOs on my personal (framework) and work (System76) laptop. It’s been super stable. Specially if you don’t mess around with different PPAs.
openSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty comfy. Btrfs snapshots enabled by default so it’s really hard to break it. I’ve been using it for about 8 months now and haven’t had any big issues.
Tumbleweed? No way dude. That’s a rolling release.
Rolling but feels very stable. Packages go through a testing phase before release to make sure they work properly. I really like getting all the newest updates and features.
And for being one it’s shockingly stable. It’s in a bit of flux right now as things are between X11/Wayland, but it’s definitely not as iffy as bleeding-edge Arch or anything. :)
Oh yeah I’m on X11 for now, waiting on nvidia to be ready before trying wayland again. AMD users should be fine to use wayland though.
just installed bazzite and after switching to x11 (one button thing) its the first district to have no screen tearing, no stutter
though this is a very gaming focused district, so maybe not for you
its derived from universal blue so maybe check that out
And a non-gaming focused equivalent would be Bluefin.
Mint, it just works.
What do you want to do with it?
This request is impossible to fulfill
- people that dont care about wayland etc. may use Linux Mint
- people that want a server will choose Debian
- people dont care about malware will choose ubuntu
- people that dont care about all of that will use an Atomic Fedora Spin like Silverblue
For me it is Fedora
I’d correct the spelling, remove the lazy initialism, fix the comma splice and the which/that error.
You want to give people a reason to stop and help you. Be better, okay?
