I have meager needs so I haven't run into (m)any of the issues here, but what's a deb based alternative that isn't meant for absolute stability at the expense of anything modern?
(I ask with actual curiosity; I'm ignorant to most distros.)
- gmassman 4y agoFWIW I’ve been using Linux Mint for years and have never had a major issue. Most minor issues are with out of date repository packages which can usually be installed by other means.
- michaelcampbell 4y agoIsn't Mint an ubuntu offshoot, or does it avoid the flatpak/snap issues?
- hoppyhoppy2 4y agoLinux Mint is an Ubuntu offshoot that doesn't use Snaps but does include Flatpak support.
- entropicdrifter 4y agoNot only does it include Flatpak support, but as of 21.1 it can even handle Flatpak updates through the GUI Update Manager alongside .deb packages from standard repos/PPAs.[1] [1] https://linuxmint.com/rel_vera_cinnamon_whatsnew.php https://linuxmint.com/rel_vera_cinnamon_whatsnew.php

- linux_is_nice 4y agoI've had several people recommend the testing branches of Debian for relatively up-to-date software while still being stable FWIW
- johnny22 4y agopopos maybe?
- ajvs 4y agoI'll add to this: one that uses KDE, please. Kubuntu has served me well but I'm tired of Canonical's shit.
