Hello everyone, I need help to decide on a Linux Distribution to settle and finally stop distro hopping. I have quite some experience with Linux(1year Mint, a quarter year Arch, nixos, manjaro, fedora, suse tumbleweed and kalpa…)I have been experimenting for now almost 3 years. Now I finally want to setlle but I just don’t know where. I like Nix’s shell but don’t like installing everything in five steps(with git because my brain can stand neither the dirty tree warning nor leaving out on the git push) and I don’t need the reproducibility. I like rolling so I don’t need to reinstall or do any major update, but even more appealing is low maintenance and stability in the sense of nothing unexpectedly breaking. I’ll use the computer as an daily driver mostly for programming & 3d design, university related work, streaming and also some gaming. Thank you for your answers. #linux #distrohopping


debian doesn’t do that ‘out-of-the-box’, but you can do luks and btrfs at install (default partitioning even, just go back and change partition type of root before continuing with install), then ‘adjust’ things to be ‘timeshift compatible’ after install. for some inspiration: https://mutschler.dev/linux/debian-btrfs-trixie/
i’ve used this numerous times, on debian and a couple other distributions.
