From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm looking for a stable rolling too. But since yesterday, I've quit tumbleweed for fedora.

I left tumbleweed because I wasn't able to find/install/update non flatpak application. The bug is only for KDE (gnome last ISO works fine, but not the KDE ISO). It was not much of a problem since everything else worked for me, but I find it weird to not fix that kind of bug, even on a ISO.

I guess void Linux would be the answer, but it requires a bit of work to set it up. Maybe, when I'll have time to learn a bit more about it.

Slow roll would be another option I guess : 1 month slower than Tumbleweed, but it is still flagged as experimental by suse.

Solus has been revived last year. I tested their first iso from 2023. I found it laggy and didn't liked the package manager, but 1 year can make big changes on Linux.
