Yes, Manjaro. But you have to stick to a LTS kernel (or at least keep a LTS kernel installed as backup), not install things from AUR that can take your machine down if they break, use their way of installing drivers (particularly graphical drivers), don’t switch to the testing or unstable branch etc.

They also offer BTRFS now for the system partition and integrate it by default with Timeshift so you automatically get recovery snapshots you can boot into from Grub if anything bad happens.

All of the above is default so you don’t have to do anything to attain stability, just not actively ruin it. But as you’ll see from some of the comments around here there are people who just can’t help themselves. 😁

I’ve been using it as main desktop system for about 4 years now and I’m super happy with it. I’ve also installed it for some relatives (without sudo rights), I manage it remotely over Tailscale and it’s been working perfectly.

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.
