I'm actually getting frustrated with running a rolling release; Tumbleweed has had a lot of problems over the last few weeks: graphical login screen crashing to console when I move the mouse, Wayland + KDE Plasma 6 hanging during login just before showing the desktop, CapsLock being locked on when I wake the laptop from sleep.

Bazzite's right there, and Fedora is officially supported on Framework. 🤔

@Taffer I've been on Arch for many years and honestly been super happy. It's been pretty unfair, I've had less problems with it than with some LTS distros. But there is an entry barrier, the install is pretty rough (though apparently the archinstall script is pretty good these days)

That said, I never had much luck with Tumbleweed myself either so maybe there's that? Leap, on the other hand, is my LTS of choice, love it to bits

@VileLasagna Endeavour is also on my short list these days, and its install is easy. I won’t try to use ZFS 😅

@Taffer Every time I'm here waiting desperately for a new ZFS version so I can finally update my system I really wish I'd just wean off it and use something else

And then I remember I spent 6 months with a broken hard drive and not only didn't end up losing any data (that I know of) but the whole frikkin volume was just chugging along reconstructing stuff on the fly like the disk was still there

Unhinged stuff. I'm never going to find this level of resilience anywhere else remotely reasonable

@Taffer Anyway, that new ZFS dropped TODAY. As long as Linux 6.14 doesn't come out tomorrow we're home free boyz!
