Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

Somewhat but it is a rolling release. Packages will be major-updated constantly.

Yes it runs quite stable. But the packages and their configuration can change.

If you’re looking for something more conservative, the stable branch fits better but on a desktop it’s very old (like an Ubuntu lts)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
