Original question by @[email protected]

What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

I can only speak to my own personal experience: Fedora and Suse are doing the best, especially with immutable distributions.

My only problem with Fedora (Workstation) is that it really likes upgrade though restart. And upgrades are daily. It ~~can't~~ can be turned off (to not require restart) on KDE variant, but I didn't find an option on Gnome one.

Disable automatic updates in Gnome Software them do them manually via dnf.

That will also solve the mandatory restart after? I guess so. Any side effects?

Yep, without a restart anything running will be the old version until the process is restarted (or the whole system is).

You'll also probably want to do a flatpak update along with dnf upgrade
