I’m currently looking for a new OS, coming from KDE neon and I like it, but the fact I have to FUCKING restart because someone decided to push an OS update that broke my previous install, now the OS freezes my whole PC (never did before!) and I have to restart.

I’m looking for good apps support so Debian? Idk Using it for daily usage (Android/games development) and gaming.

I’m also looking for:

  • Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol)
  • Good customization
  • KDE connect support (a must)
  • Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)
  • Idk?

Thank you!

    I’m quite happy with Fedora. It has kde support, many apps (especially with rpmfusion), and is quite stable because it is still a 6 month ish major release schedule. Wobbly windows, kde connect, and krunnuer will definitely work. Good customization is subjective, and honestly I consider c/unixporn to be weird but cool wizardry, but I’m happy with it. One thing to consider is if you have a newer amd CPU with an iGPU being used it will get slow and crash every now and then (few months). It’s a bug in the linux kernel starting around 6.10.

      Good customization is subjective

      Yes, but I mean you can customize a lot in settings, themes, icons, etc

      I have a 5800x and a 6950 so it should be okay

          If it doesn’t crash for no reason I’m happy with that

            Nothing crashes for no reason. Until you identify the reason, you’re employing stochastic problem solving.

              Except my KDE OS. No idea what causes freezes and sometimes (like yesterday) it happened while idle

                Yeah, I was being trite but still there is a reason. Idle doesn’t mean doing nothing. Perhaps it’s obscure, perhaps as impenetrable as some combination of machine state and number of milliseconds since 1970 being an even number. But you could try to track it down.

                And sometimes the easiest thing is to reinstall from scratch.

                  The problem started after they pushed an update that broke my install and others too. Reinstalled and started to get these problems, probably due to the new update
