Does anyone consider Tumbleweed stable?

Would it be much of an issue if we insisted presidential powers were limited to what they were when the Constitution came into force? Today's presidents (both parties) greatly exceed the powers of Washington and Jefferson.

Can confirm. Works on every distro I've tried.

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there's no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.

There's been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there's something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

Budgie 11 should be coming out soon and is supposed to be full Wayland. Arch is nice if you can stay up on your updates and can tinker if things don't work right.

 

Solus is a stable rolling distro, making it somewhat special in the world of Linux. A new ISO just dropped.

Getting a second monitor for my work computer gave me a 30% boost in my productivity.

There's self-hosting that's low risk but does remove some convenience. For example, I use a offline password manager. I keep a Veracrypt container on my computer that hosts that and a few other important files. When I make enough updates, I'll throw a copy into Dropbox so I can save access it elsewhere. The disadvantage is that I cannot update the primary version from one of those other devices but, for me, that's not really an issue.
