I’d like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).

I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along… I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it’s holding me back a bit.

What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

    i settled on fedora kde a few years ago(altho i recently switched to fedora silverblue kde)
    imo a nice middleground.

    if you are intrested in immutable distros, i can recommend silverblue (not as drastic of a change compared to nixos)

    if you are intrested in nixos package management, you might want to try out the nix package manager on your current distro.

    an intresting way to get the fresh but stable system you want is to,
    install some rock solid distro like debian,
    and then use the nix package manager and/or flatpacks to get the fresh software you want.
