I haven't tries MicroOS, so I cannot comment on that. I use both Leap and Tumbleweed and am quite happy with both.
Tumbleweed occasionally breaks something, but but it uses snapper to create a snapshot before each update, so if there's a problem, I boot into the most recent stable snapshot and wait for a couple of days before I update again.
Leap is very stable in my experience, while also offering relatively up-to-date packages.
The main problem is that out of the box, support for multimedia is not very good, but there is community-run repository with everything I need, i.e. video codecs and such.
If you have a spare computer, I suggest just installing it on that and giving it a try. Otherwise, a virtual machine. It's a lot more heavyweight than Slackware, obviously, and if you dislike systemd, you might not like it very much. But I don't know your preferences and requirements are, so the best I can say is to give it a try and decide for yourself.
- galangalalgol 3y agoI've been using a mix of things. I actually like gnome for some reason, but anything that lets me avoid the mouse is fine. Systemd is a don't care for this experiment because I want something container focused anyway, where init or systemd can start podman and I'll take it from there. And I want rolling because I like not messing with things that aren't the thing I'm doing. I like apt better than dnf for cross compiling tools, but dnf better for most everything else.
