    Imagine having backups and not being on the testing branch of the beta version of a distro while running a custom kernel that is on alpha (Context, im on testing branch of fedora 39 beta with the asahi kernel)

      Everybody in here does all this crazy shit with their system. I just wanna use my computer, man. I cruise on defaults all day long. I barely even bother changing the DE’s default wallpaper.

        Tl;dr:

        If you do tweak your system debian seems the most stable one.

        Ok I switched to full Linux no Windows about one and a half year ago.

        First I tried an Ubuntu gaming variant. It wasn’t working like I wanted and outdated. Then manjaro because it was said to be good for gaming and easier than arch. I couldn’t get warm with it too many hurdles to get stuff going. Fedora or rather nobara (from the same guy who makes glorious eggroll for Proton) was my choice then I really liked it and it worked mostly like I wanted. But because it is basically dependend on RedHat and they went closed source and I had issues (which weren’t solved by a new distro, I messed up my kde configs) I switched to debian-testing.

        I knew debian well because it’s the same I run for years on my old Laptop which wouldn’t Support Windows 10.

        And I must say Debian-testing is great, stable and up to date with drivers and stuff. I had to do a few steps to get steam running and install flatpak but then it’s just the best experience I ever had on Linux.

        What I actually wanted to say is that I usually do a bit of tweaking and then break sth. But on debian I didn’t need to do that and if I did it still works fine.

        Same. I’m not looking at the wallpaper anyways, I’m staring at software all day long instead. It just can’t be too bright otherwise I flashbang myself at night.

        Well I use Fedora but you are probably fine with most distros. There’s Linux mint if you just want everything to work.
