If you had to pick one distro to use for the next five years, what would it be? Bleeding edge / stable? Rolling / periodic?

What would you prioritise and why?

For server I can vouch for debian or rocky great distributions. For workstation or laptop I use endeavour os. Super stable and just works. I did use Manjaro in the past but every once in awhile it would break and because it is a bit different than arch the solutions would not work straight away.

I do not game that much except for some fallout every once in awhile, but that works too on endeavour

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.
