    openSUSE Tumbleweed or MicroOS. I’ve since long given up on so called “stable release” distros, because a boon to me is to feel like I’m not using software from the stone age, which is what I feel every time I have to use a RHEL, SLE or Ubuntu system.

    I’ve used Tumbleweed on laptop and desktop for about 6 years. Never has anything crashed, or at least nothing has ever become unbootable. The most damage ever done by an update was a regression in mesa that made 3d accelerated content absurdly slow, but even that was fixed within a few days.

    I use MicroOS on almost all my servers and it’s rock solid.

    zypper is slower than pacman, apt and dnf, but it’s extremely usable and easy to work with, even in enterprise scenarios. I’d say it’s basically on par with dnf, usability wise.

    openSUSE in general feels extremely stable, and I just love that they went btrfs by default a few years back and just seem to have this future proofing aspect.
