Hello, I’ve been using manjaro xfce for a few months now and I’m starting to wonder if I would enjoy any other distros more, I’m not really a technical person but I really do enjoy linux so i’m willing to learn new things.
I’m looking for a distro that is minimal while not being too complex, (Manjaro keeps breaking itself for a laugth)
Please leave distro recommendations in the comments below I will be sure to play with them in live boot or in a Vm.
Thank you and have a good day, Sebo
#Update: I tryed openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndevourOS and Arch and so far I’m enjoying arch the most (I installed it with help of the wiki and a youtube guide)
If you want a rolling release, I suggest going with openSUSE Tumbleweed. The installer allows you to pick & choose what you do/don’t want/need, and has a great rollback system in case an update causes problems.
Otherwise, I would suggest Fedora. Stays very current, and the in-place upgrade process is very seamless at this point.
Just keep in mind that rolling releases are by definition not as stable as non-rolling. For example, Kernel 6.4 has introduced an interrupt storm for some motherboards with buggy implementation of TPM interrupts, and it’d get fixed only in 6.5…
LTS kernel anyone?
Does Opensuse Tumbleweed offer that option?
The LTS kernel? It should, but I’ve barely used it.
AFAIK, Opensuse Tumbleweed doesn’t offer the LTS kernel… At least I haven’t found any documentation on it. Could have been great.
