I daily Fedora at home (and Windows at work). Got tired Arch breaking every so often, and wanted something that didn’t come with anxiety with every update haha

Yeah that is completely fine. I would not dare to go Arch on work computer. :D OpenSuse works like a charm, but in general pre/post update snaphosts always save the day.

Yeah, I thought those preupdate snapshotters were crazy paranoid freaks… until my first Arch update hahahaha

I’ve wanted to try OpenSuse for a while now. I have a spare laptop that I was planning on installing Gentoo on, but am dreading the antiquated (by today’s standards) installation process. Maybe I’ll use it for OpenSuse.

YOu can set those pre/post snapshots automatically and not really pay attention. I think OpenSuse does that by default if you install your root on btrfs. They even have an OS version called MicroOS which does a cool thing with snaphosts. Basically if your system does not boot after update it will revert automatically to previous snapshot, or you can pick a snapshot to boot into manually from grub menu. Bit it is quite a different thing than your usual linux distro as it uses read only root FS.
