What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
