2023 was the year of the Linux desktop.
I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Install once, update weekly or biweekly. (It's a rolling release, so it doesn't have major upgrades like Windows 10 to 11 does.) About a month ago I did an upgrade on my old laptop. Handled 2 years of updates flawlessly.
I left tumbleweed for alpine and artix because even if you always use
--no-recommends
for package installation it seems to ship just too much bloat and I left it after it shipped some broken software I didn't need anyway but must've affected system stability too severely, iSCSI iircWow, are you able to use the new s6 supervisor or service manager yet, or is it too early yet? I saw an initial post once but didn't follow it's development.
Sorry you had problems with Tumbleweed. The forums and subreddit are very supportive, no matter how you installed the distro. It's actually why I moved to Tumbleweed from Arch.
tbh I simply haven't tried it yet. OpenRC works really well for me though I haven't looked into why I would switch to s6 either.
That makes sense. I just assumed everyone used s6 on artix. Now I know better!
