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.

I worked on a SuSE-derived Linux back in the day.
What we agreed we'd be getting: a working product ready for customization an extension as required. What we got: a corpse with the skin and organs removed, effectively kicked out of a van at our doorstep before it drove off.
It's not that the packaging was bad - it was - but that the environment in and relations outside the organization were terrible. As it impacted our work and probably impacted their quality long-term, I've avoided it since.
What's your recommendation for distro? Not arch or fedora please, bad experience with updates, both system broke almost always because i install a lot of software, so far only Debian worked good for me, but i want rolling release, maybe Debian sid gonna work for me, I've thinked of tubleweed recently but seeing your comment it got me thinking again
Not the person you asked, but wanted to offer my 2 cents.
So you want rolling release, with lots of software installed and it should not break.
Bazzite has finally got me to pay attention to Fedora derivatives again for the first time in like 15 years.
Granted; Fedora has always had relatively few derivatives. The same applies to openSUSE. While popularity definitely plays a role in this, there's more going on in the background that's out of scope for what this comment intends.
But yeah, Bazzite is excellent. And so is Aurora, Bluefin, secureblue and many more.
