Linux Mint update caused a lot of issues (wifi stopped working. cinnomen keeps crashing and more). Tried fixing but nothing has worked so I'm reinstalling linux. Issue is, I got no clue what to go with. I've tried most popular distros at one point or another. Which distro has been doing cool stuff lately?

[edit] fixed wifi while waiting for responses LOL. iwlwifi was out of date and had to be manually updated :P (DE is still mega broken tho. Lots of crashes)

[Edit] just realised havent used tumbleweed before. gonna try that now

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.
