    OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is pretty much like Arch with more graphical tools and more QA. And if you want to have it a little bit more stable like Debian you use OpenSUSE Leap.

      Yep. I think the reason the AUR on Arch hosts a lot of unmaintained packages that cause breaking changes at least in my experience. OpenSUSE TW basically is the sweet spot, though I’ve had one or two bad updates I’ve always been able to roll back with Snapper.

      I wish TW was more mainstream a distro, as it’s solves problems people complain about a lot with Linux (i.e. stable releases not supporting new hardware, rolling releases breaking randomly).

      I genuinely believe the age of the distro hurts its appeal for Linux youtubers to spruke the later distro.

      There’s also an additional middleground between them, Slowroll. Still a rolling distro but slower with feature updates for additional stability.

      Leap tends to be rather outdated as it keeps binary-compatibility to SLES. Of course makes it as stable as possible, but also more often than not uncomfortably lacking behind.
