    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 It wasn’t working like I wanted and outdated.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.

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

        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.
