Heya, I’m currently on Opensuse Slowroll with KDE-Wayland and came from Leap for more recent updates. Even if Slowroll promises monthly big updates, the rolling snapshots still seem to replace most of the system weekly with ~4GB downloads. I don’t like that. I looked at Fedora, but found that I would like .deb-compatibility, if I’m already switching. Debian stable is as stale as Leap from what I can see. Debian testing is in flux, and people don’t agree on stability. Kubuntu has built-in reliance on snaps, which makes me hesitant to switch. I’m currently trying Mint-Xfce with post-install KDE, it doesn’t seem to have wayland support.

Are there any good daily-drivers with sane updates and good support, I should try? I’m not willing to do proper Arch yet, never mind that that would be bleeding-edge-rolling. _

    Minimal Debian with Flatpaks is the way I went, too.

    • Deselect everything except Standard System Utilities during installation.
    • Reboot
    • sudo apt install plasma-desktop cups dolphin konsole flatpak
    • edit /etc/network/interfaces and comment out the interfaces it configured during installation, so network manager can take over
    • Reboot
    • flatpak remote-add flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo and install your software
