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 find it weird that you do not care for DE since it affects your workflow, but anyway. My take is if you need the latest packages go for Arch if you have the time, Manjaro if you do not and finally Debian for rock solid stability.

In fact I care about the DE but I already know the ones that I'm interested in 😃

Manjaro is a terrible recommendation for stability

Who recommended that? I recomended Arch or Manjaro for latest packages and debian for stable packages.
