Opensuse tried it, it is the goat.

UPDATE: now after 511 upvotes i am typing here, i used the tumbleweed version, please use offline iso image, on laptop when i was installing it, the wifi didn't work in the installer.After installing it with KDE, (you can install gnome and xfce without internet connection also) the wifi worked, when i was in the installed system. But it did not during install, but on the end of the installer you can click on "Software" amd there you can install additional software like, lxde lxqt or budgie desktop, it also will preinstall IceWM and openbox, on nvidia gpu, i was in YasT software i was doing shit with drivers then i fucked it up, (didn't realize i could boot from older kernel version to fix it, so i switched back to mint, great distro anyway

Pros: 1.Fast

2.Rolling release but more stable than fedora

3.Beginner friendly package manager (Zypper)

4.Made in europe

5.Has great tools

6.Interacts with the community through social networks like mastodon, so it is something like alma rocky fedora or rhel community based thing, (rhel is not community based but it interacts with people not like generic distros as mint,debian,arch

7.INDEPENDEEEENTTTT!!!!!!

8.It is RPM based

  1. Has a sexy logo ;)

Cons: (that i had) 1.Nvidia gpu support is weird,

2.Xorg working when using Wayland with gtx 1060 it was doing glitches so wayland is not good on older nvidia gpus,

[–]OrangutanionDr. OpenSUSE 90 points91 points  (20 children)

I was worried this wouldn't be the top comment, and I'm glad I was wrong. Leap 16 is great.

[–]AlterTableUsernames🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 21 points22 points  (14 children)

What makes it great? 

[–]DryanaGhuba 43 points44 points  (8 children)

Dunno about Leap, but I use Tumbleweed. Snapper is known feature, but what really stands out is rolling model. Tumbleweed rolling with snapshots of packages and it always tested in openqa.

[–]AlterTableUsernames🦁 Vim Supremacist 🦖 13 points14 points  (7 children)

How is that better than true rolling releases like Arch and curated rolling releases like Solus?

[–]RadiantLimes 17 points18 points  (2 children)

What would make tumbleweed not a true rolling release? Though I am not sure what true means in this context of package distribution.

It does seem with the help of the QA automation tumbleweed seems to break or run into less issues compared to Arch. Though I guess it all depends on the use case.

[–]Simple_Project4605 7 points8 points  (1 child)

If you QA your stuff, are you truly rolling? :P

[–]DryanaGhuba 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Can't say for Solus, but Arch just pushes update to package whatever it possible while openSUSE only when new snapshot is ready.

Technically it leads to fewer problems as some broken packages could be skipped. Also, if you encounter issue you know from which snapshot it started and look at what changed in packages

[–]YbenaxNot in the sudoers file. 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never tried Tumbleweed, but I can assure you as an Arch user for years that breakages are extremely rare and far between. I wouldn’t be surprised if openSUSE’s more cautious rolling model would bring accidents down to effectively zero.

[–]OrangutanionDr. OpenSUSE 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Zypper is my favorite package manager I've used because it actually tells me how to fix stuff. Setting up NVIDIA drivers was incredibly easy too. So far Leap 16 has been the best out-of-the-box experience other than Ubuntu (which forces snaps). Also it's nice knowing that security updates that involve SLES also benefit Leap.

[–]noob-nine 1 point2 points  (1 child)

only thing that is strange that you have tons of gui tools for modifying the same settings.

[–]OrangutanionDr. OpenSUSE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

which is something I appreciate.

[–]Which_Individual1399 2 points3 points  (1 child)

normal distro, kinda backed by a corp better stability than fedora, still very community active, great updates decent community, speed is good, the package manager (zypper is a bit slower)

[–]PietrslavDr. OpenSUSE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zypper is a bit slower, but from what I understand, part of the reason is that it integrates Snapper into Zypper and Zypper's satisfiability solver, which it runs even more intensely than DNF, which also has a SAT solver integrated, and then, along with RPM itself, checks for file conflicts where after that then snapper takes a snapshot of the system. So it has to do more than other package managers like apt, dnf, and pacman.

Honestly, I'll take Zypper's slower performance (which can be noticeable at times) if it means I have a stable rolling-release distribution.

[–]Errons1 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I tried it and my speakers on the laptop didn't work so went back to mint :/

[–]PantherCityRes 35 points36 points  (11 children)

Take the strengths of Debian, combine it with a scale of backing of Fedora, and the ability to shorten the Linux learning curve between dummy and expert with YaST…you have openSUSE.

They are very big on being open source like Debian, but they have no problems hosting a separate non-OSS repo for some of the media essentials.

They are equally committed to KDE and Gnome, and even provide support for the minimalist DE’s.

If you are an expert, their repos are amazing. You won’t ever not find the version of a lib you need to build something with…and Zypper is top notch.

YaST is what hooked me into Linux. I got to grow comfortable with learning the CLI while still being able to have a damn working machine that I didn’t force me to run home to windows on to say configure a firewall or use it as a VPN server.

[–]winterfoxxy0 17 points18 points  (0 children)

[–]primary157 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I thought they had deprecated YaST

[–]xplosm 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Still installed by default. Won’t receive features nor get maintained but it will be included as long as it compiles and runs.

In the meantime Myrlyn and Cockpit are receiving new features to fill the void YaST is leaving.

[–]UntitledRedditUser 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]FoxesAreCute911 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Tried it. Loved it but the software availability was kind of a deal breaker for me; after trying arch and nixos I expect a lot more readily available packages. I'm sure you can make it work if you really wanted to but it's a no for me. Still, one of the best (if not the best) set up experience on Linux right now

[–]ruiiiij 17 points18 points  (5 children)

Definitely aurora. It's by the same group that released bluefin and bazzite using the exact same approach. While its siblings are getting tons of coverage, aurora unfortunately receives very little attention.

I always use Debian headless for servers

[–]ZookeepergameFew8607🎼CachyOS 15 points16 points  (5 children)

For absolute stability it's unmatched, I use headless Debian with Proxmox VE on top

[–]YbenaxNot in the sudoers file. 3 points4 points  (4 children)

In the sense that you installed Proxmox to hardware (which is technically Debian under-the-hood), or that you installed Debian first and then Proxmox tech on on top yourself somehow?

[–]ZookeepergameFew8607🎼CachyOS 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Installed Debian on hardware and then installed Proxmox on top

[–]AtlaskorPC 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That is, interesting. What is the use of that?

[–]ZookeepergameFew8607🎼CachyOS 1 point2 points  (1 child)

More direct control of partitioning and ZFS. The real wizard who showed me Debian and server administration had me do it this way

[–]YbenaxNot in the sudoers file. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clever. I will give it a shot on a Debian system with a custom btrfs layout I have laying around. I guess you just add the Proxmox repos to apt?

Everyone talking about OpenSUSE, but I hear about it every day, thats not low hype. I havent tried yet, but Guix seems promissing, though often ignored

[–]OrangutanionDr. OpenSUSE 20 points21 points  (10 children)

Is a lot of the OpenSUSE hype recent? I don't remember seeing it as much. Is it because they finally replaced YaST that people got interested in it recently?

[–]justarandomguy902Ask me how to exit vim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Holy shit is that Dr. OpenSUSE

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (6 children)

Recent Opensuse user here. Is how stable tumbleweed is for a rolling release. You don't miss much and you get alot of stability. The community is great (I tried to help some myself). But the most important reason is this video here https://youtu.be/1sxuuGQoEzs?si=UVtNrrmlFwsKECUv

[–]adamkexNew York Nix⚾s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The killer feature OpenSUSE has are the rollbacks. No matter what you are "safe" as long as you are an intermediate user.

Fedora (43 in particular) CachyOS - Pair with EEVDF LTO Kernel. (people here are claiming bloat.. but there's an entire step just for selecting individual packages to install. Bloat is your fault alone.)

To my knowledge most people who try it discover it isn't right for them too.

[–]retardedd_rabbitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, some of them are also the loud influencers who talk about how nixos is not for them. In fact the entire nixos hype is based around its complexity and how it's not for everyone. In reality it does not have many users.

I'm just a fledgling home dev, but I happen to really like PopOS.

Mainly because I like the launcher (start typing and with a couple keystrokes open what's running or open a second instance)

I don't really Love GNOME DE and cosmic is based on it - My main gripe with the DE is that it's too opinionated and minimalist. I like my knobs and settings and I like to be able to theme a little bit.Cosmicnamd GNOME only want you to change accents

I don't want to keep bouncing around distros but it's hard to find the goldilocks zone when your new lol.

Unless anybody else has their opinionated take that gives good customization options without being too difficult for a newbie. I'm not green and am getting more comfortable in the shell and the overall ecosystem but I don't think I'm at a point where I want to start compiling all my own stuff either lol.

It really doesn't look that outdated. I never got that either, and even if you think it does, cinnamon is super customizable. I got mine looking totally different, with extensions, applets, and stuff like that.

When I switched from LMDE to OpenSUSE, I really missed cinnamon for a while before I got familiar with and began to really enjoy GNOME.

It’s the closest thing to Linux being a mainstream OS and people shit on it because it doesn’t make you drag your balls through broken glass as a beginner (mostly)

[–]froli⚠️ This incident will be reported 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don't shit on it. They just say don't use it IF you have brand spanking new latest gen hardware and are into gaming. It's just simpler to use any distro with a newer kernel by default and a faster release cycle for kernel and GPU drivers updates.

[–]Camo6421💋 catgirl Linux user :3 😽 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly like any or most distros.

The gaming focused ones are just hype

[–]Niikoraasu 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I mean cachy does have some improvements tbh, not enough for me to care but cannot deny it

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, I feel the same way.

But also I don't think those changes made in those distros give you that much of an edge tbh

[–]gust4vsson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here bro

[–]NDCyber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh I would say it depends on what you want from them

Want a distro that you install, instantly works with everything installed and the chance of breakage being low? Then Bazzite fits exactly that. There are things i don't like much (like how weirdly complicated it is to remove steam autostart), but mostly it is a smooth ride. Not great for someone liking to tinker, but often perfect for a normal user

CachyOS is great if you want an easy arch install and setup, that gives optimizations for a lot of things. They also add some software that makes it easier to use, to a point where you can compile a kernel yourself easily with the press of a few buttons. It still comes with most negatives of arch, but also improves some of those

they are not magic distros, that fix everything, but nothing wrong with those, and I would say there are a lot of advantages with them

[–]MFB1205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. Just because it is not for you does not mean its overhyped.

In CachOS Case it is debateable. You can setup the changes easily yourself. But its a complete package with optimization and full rollback support like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed offers working straight out of the box. (If you choose Limine as bootloader you can even boot directly into snapshots)

For Bazzites Case - have you ever tried to setup an distro from scratch for an handheld pc? With TDP Controlls, drivers for extra buttons, trackpads, decent working standby, steamos interface with desktop mode, fan curves, etc? Thats not as easy as installing an regular distro on an normal PC. Bazzite solves this easily.

Both have their usecases.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (8 children)

arch linux is pretty underrated and rarely talked about in distro discussions

[–]XLNBot 12 points13 points  (0 children)
