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’ve been running on the same Tumbleweed install for almost a decade now with little issue. It’s such a trusty rolling release distro. I love it!

    I have switched to opensuse thumbleweed because i wanted rolling release destro and arch is too complicated for me i mean i gave it few hours of trying and learning but the install script kept failing so i gave up. I tried manjaro for some time but it was too bloated for me. With thumbleweed i feel like at home and yast is an amazing tool and i need to learn bit more about it and use it bit more. To me this is best rolling distro i have used and maybe the best distro ever.

    Recently got into OpenSUSE. I’m using Leap, 15.5 now. Had used Ubuntu in the past.
    Yast seems nice.

    In also a huge fan of TW, rolling yet so incredibly stable and with easy rollback out of the box

    I’m using Tumbleweed on various desktops, but I also use Leap. I use Leap on a couple different apple machines that I have, as leap seems to play better with Apple wireless adapters (stupid Broadcom adapters).

    Either way, both work well but I do prefer tumbleweed.

    Tumbleweed for the past four years and before that a decade and a half of distro hopping. A new one every three to six months!

    TW had been rock solid for me for nearly a year at this point, fully cured my distrohopping

      Aeon seems very interesting to me, I just haven’t quite wrapped my head around an immutable desktop or why that’s something desirable. Admittedly, I haven’t done my homework…

      So what is it about Aeon that draws you to it over Tumbleweed?

          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)

    I use Tumbleweed both for gaming and development environment. In my opinion, it is the smoothest rolling release distribution. I used to use it via WSL2 on Windows 11. Now I have Tumbeweed instead of Windows
