so gentoo is for trannies?

>>106765627
yes, all linux distros are

Which gnome version

"distro" support is a lie/a sham.
"real" support always comes from upstreams, and most upstreams don't maintain shit other than what you get with the latest upstream releases. there are exceptions where an older version gets maintenance updates when the latest version contains major changes. but even then, you won't be getting 24 months of active 1st class support for that.
there are other exceptions where distro devs (often Red Hat) are themselves an active part of some upstreams. but that still doesn't change the overall picture.
if you were a part of an upstream yourself, you would have known this already.
so, rolling release distros are ironically, but factually, the best supported distros, and will always be.

You can hop all you like, but the final hop is to Mac or Windows.

They are also more secure because they don't rely on security backports, which is essentially stitching a security patch onto an older version of software. Sometimes this doesn't work or can cause regressions. When it doesn't work it's simply ignored. With rolling release you get the security patch directly when updating.

I've been coming to this realization myself as well.
Been using LTS'es for a long while, but considering going back to Arch.
The idea of an LTS sounds nice, but it adds a lot of overhead and complexity. For enterprise it of course makes sense, because you don't want all that maintenance all the time, but for personal desktops I am starting to think that rolling makes most sense. I wouldn't want my shit to keep changing on the servers at work, but on my personal desktop, who cares.

>>106767220
no they don't. even in enterprise, all that 10+ year support means in practice is a retardedly out of date server that will cause you a headache when you're forced to upgrade.
all of a sudden you have new and exciting glibc / libstdc++ abi and mass deprecations of software and ways of doing things to worry about. I'd rather people get their shit together and do their fucking job. If 1yr period isn't long enough for you to test and work through 6mo release cycles, your company is a joke anyway.

except my favorite distro™

>Yast replaced with Agama, Myrlyn and Cockpit
>AppArmor replaced with SELinux
:(

I think OpenSUSE is fine. I've been running it on my mother's laptop, but I got sick of having to update Leap between releases when I visit her so last time, I switched her to Slowroll with automatic zypper dup. So far it hasn't broken, but I guess we will see in the long run.

>>106769554
Agama seemed pretty nice tho. A bit simpler, but better looking and more intuitive.

>>106770249
Yast installer was better, you could tweak everything. Which packages to be installed, which btrfs parameters,...

>>106765546
Y u no Tumbleweed?
