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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

OpenSUSE TW
It’s very stable and I’ve never had issues
It’s supported
It’s developed by SUSE.
It uses flatpaks
OpenSUSE is one of the few distributions that uses KDE Plasma by default.
Isn't TW the rolling-release variant?
Maybe I'm just scarred from years of IT, but I would avoid recommending any rolling release to someone if they specified "stability" and were likely fresh out of the Ubuntu/Green Ubuntu kiddie pool.
Just assume that they mean they want to set it up with minimal user interaction and then never, ever, ever have to change settings again.
