Yes and no.

I have also been very content with Posteo.

Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood something. From what I remember, this post is more or less an accurate description of what to expect.

It’s a really good game. Check it out!

Years ago I tried running Debian on my desktop computer and it became very quickly apparent it was not suited to my needs because of the out-of-date software. These days I only really consider rolling release distros for my desktop, or at least something with a fairly snappy release schedule. If I went for Debian, I’d probably run sid or testing.

Now, in situations where the bleeding edge is not necessary, Debian is fantastic. I’ve run it on my laptop, Raspberry Pi server and PinePhone. On the laptop, having a solid base that doesn’t break if I don’t use it for a while was great, since I didn’t use that laptop often. I did use flatpaks for some applications that I really wanted to be more recent and it worked nicely. So yes, you can use Debian as a solid base and use Flatpaks/Appimages/other to run apps you really need the newest version of, where available of course.

I’m on Tumbleweed and there are issues. As I understand, Slowroll is unaffected, though I can’t guarantee that.

I was hit by (what I assume is) a recent catastrophic Mesa update on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I’m mostly fine, experiencing some issues with cursors and the Yast window is all black. It’s also affecting Wine and some installers are broken. Now I’m just waiting for Mesa to update since I’m mostly fine and nothing critical is broken for me. I think this is the first actually major issue I’ve had on openSUSE.

I’m on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I’m not quite satisfied, but I think it’s a “me” problem. The distro is fine. It’s great! It has practically all the things I was looking for in a distro when I came back to Linux. I have had no major issues that I can recall and updates have never broken anything. The only small nag I have is that Zypper sometimes wants to install patterns that I never installed to begin with when updating, but there are ways around that. I’m just annoyed that that’s the default behavior.

But I’m not happy. I’m constantly weighing my options and thinking of different distros/DEs and I don’t know why. The current setup serves me wonderfully but it’s not perfect, what ever that means. I think I’m looking for a combination of attributes that doesn’t exist, possibly can’t exist. TW and maybe Debian sid get the closest and I try to tell myself that’s good enough, but there’s always this feeling of dissatisfaction I can’t quite shake and it’s annoying.

On my phone I run postmarketOS and on my Raspberry Pi I have Raspbian and those are great.

Back in the day when I was running Gentoo, in the long long ago, Firefox was one of the few things I installed as a binary, since compiling it took hours. Compiling it every time there was an update would have driven me crazy. From what I gather this is still true for most users. Yeah, go for the Flatpak if at all possible.
