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.

Yeah, +1 from my side for Fedora Atomic, especially uBlue.
For this use case, I can absolutely recommend using Aurora (KDE) or Bluefin (Gnome), especially with the
gts
branch.uBlue offers different branches, namely:
latest
: in sync with the current Fedora repos, all the newest stuff official Fedora also ships, including kernelstable
this is the default by now. You have to wait two weeks more for feature and kernel updates, but they are better tested. If something would have broken, others would have noticed and already fixed it.gts
: this one is what I recommend for this use case. With that, you'll get the last release.At the moment, F41 hit Bazzite/ Aurora
latest
already three weeks ago when it landed, onstable
, I got it a few days ago, and ongts
, you have to wait another 5 months until F42 is released, and then you'll update to F41.gts
is perfect for those who don't need the very latest features, and want something more chill with fewer surprises.And the other benefits of uBlue/ Atomic also apply of course, like better hardware enablement, QoL tweaks, automatic staged updates, and much more.
9.5/10, can absolutely recommend!
