I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I’m having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.
However, the reason I’m asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it’s connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.
I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?
EDIT: I went for
DebianFreeBSD, as well as runningfwupd, and it’s all working now. Thanks!
Debian ist so amazing. And if you want to make the “but packages old” argument, you may be interested in just using Debian testing, which has all the new stuff. The freeze was recently announced for this year too, so testing is rather stable right now.
