My keyboard’s autocomplete did a terrible job of finishing the sentence for sure… If I kept going it started repeating “good example of this in general” ad nauseum.

But Aeon has been good so far!

OpenSUSE Aeon is a good example of this in general and I think it is a good example of the way that it is used

I’ve had a pretty good experience with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, with a pretty similar use case / criteria.

I’ve done my share of tinkering, and while I learned a lot, and enjoyed Gentoo, Arch, Debian, NixOS, and others (Mandrake, Ubuntu), I sometimes I just want get my work done…

With Tumbleweed, there are a few packages that you’d need to install for codecs, but that’s easily done via the CLI zypper package manager with a single command.

I’d definitely recommend checking it out - its been a solid daily driver for almost 3-years now with very few issues, and lets me focus on getting stuff done. I wonder if this is due to their QA build process (OBS)?

Anyway, good luck & have fun whatever you choose!
