I did the whole distro chooser quiz but didnt help much.

Heres the things id like to hit

  • avoid systemd
  • stable
  • Wayland support
  • Minimal packages
  • no immutable (seems like to much of a pain)
  • full disk encryption but thats pretty standard nowdays.

Was going to go with devuan but the debian flavours dont have a stable with wayland yet. I was considering going with a testing or unstable build but would like to avoid headaches on a daily driver. Is testing/unstable got wayland and are they reliable enough? If so what do I go with.

Also hows the hardware comparability with framework i assume it wont be too bad to get set up.

    I looked at supported and they got ubuntu supported so i figured debian (and its clones) shouldnt be too bad to set up.

    I like sysvinit

    As long as i dont need to use a bootable usb to give it back its kernal after failing to update and doesnt randomly crash then id consider that stable enough.

    I recon ill go with devuan unstable.

    Ive been daily driving arch for about 2 years now (i fuckibg sick of fixing shit i want stability again) had mint prior to that and use debian on my servers.

      Ubuntu and Debian are very different.

      But good luck! I would miss the reset capability of Fedora Atomic. Be sure to configure automatic BTRFS snapshots on updates.

      Thanks for the reply!

      Devuan Ceres probably makes the most sense indeed. Wish ya good luck with it!

      FWIW, while it defaults to runit instead, I still felt the need to mention Void Linux.

      If you’ve driven Arch before, have you looked at Artix?

      Edit: Oh, you have trouble with stability then. So not artix
