What’s everyone using?

I’m running Tumbleweed, personally. I like the rolling release model, I think it supports my use case better than point releases. And OpenSUSE has the smoothest, most pleasant rolling release available IMO.

      I feel like I get all those same features with Tumbleweed, save automatic updating which I handle myself out of preference. What about Aeon makes it simpler to install programs, for example? Like I said, I definitely haven’t done my homework.

      Does Aeon play well with being in a VM? I may give that a spin and see what’s up.

        @aRatherDapperFox it is the gnome store and you don’t have to deal with libraries or repositories. I have never tried it with VM but it should work without dramas. The issue of Aeon:

        Stability: Being an immutable OS and the system is read-only so it avoids problems that a user can give, this leads to the eternal issue of libraries and their compatibility with these.(1-3)

          @aRatherDapperFox Speaking of libraries this also helps that updates are more secure without possible system breaks and if something happens, automatically returns to a previous snap without the user doing anything.
          Auto-update: we had already talked about it, again the user does not intervene directly
          And it is rolling and we know how beautiful and comfortable that system is. Summary: (2-3)

            @aRatherDapperFox Stability: By dealing with Libraries and being a read-only system -Auto-update
            Installation of programs. If you notice it is a system that the user does not maintain (like the normal versions of linux), it is to install your software and forget about the system.(3-3)
