Maybe what I'm looking for is the holy grail, but what do you guys suggest as a Distro with a good balance between stability and up-to-date packages?

+1 for EndeavourOS, have been using for about a year now and it’s been nothing short of great.

Does endeavour use pacman? I've got Garuda running on my son's PC and I'm not a big fan of their update script.

Yes it does, you can also leverage the AUR with yay.

What don’t you like about pacman?

[-] dartanjinn@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No, I have no issue with pacman, it's the "garuda-update" script I don't care for. I see endeavour has eos-update which I haven't really looked at much but in Garuda if use "pacman -Syu" it will interrupt with "Garuda uses garuda-update for updates" - I know it's trivial and I don't have to use it but I don't like that. Don't interrupt my workflow to try and coerce me to use your script. Yes, it's a petty gripe but it feels very microsoft-like in the same way that Windows 11 will delay the launch of Firefox to tell you "Edge was built for Windows."

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.
