I’m a software developer with plenty of linux experience but I just want a distro that just works without me having to troubleshoot everything all the time. I am lazy and I just want something easy and reliable. I don’t want an update to break it. But I want the ability to customise it if I want to and the ability to install pretty much everything available easily.

Basically I want MacOS, but as Linux. I’m very hopeful that there’s something I have overlooked!

    Debian 12 (bookworm):

    • Works without having to troubleshoot all the time - Check
    • Reliable - Check
    • Customize and install pretty much everything available - Half Check - Since the kernel is from 2022, you won’t have the latest versions of some software (eg. KDE), and some features will not be available (eg. changing CPU operation mode)- Unless you develop applications for Linux, or need a specific feature, it shouldn’t be a problem.

      And if you are using KDE, use Plasma X session instead of Wayland, because if you have two monitors you’ll get random glitches depending on your graphics card model.
