    Yes, Manjaro. But you have to stick to a LTS kernel (or at least keep a LTS kernel installed as backup), not install things from AUR that can take your machine down if they break, use their way of installing drivers (particularly graphical drivers), don’t switch to the testing or unstable branch etc.

    They also offer BTRFS now for the system partition and integrate it by default with Timeshift so you automatically get recovery snapshots you can boot into from Grub if anything bad happens.

    All of the above is default so you don’t have to do anything to attain stability, just not actively ruin it. But as you’ll see from some of the comments around here there are people who just can’t help themselves. 😁

    I’ve been using it as main desktop system for about 4 years now and I’m super happy with it. I’ve also installed it for some relatives (without sudo rights), I manage it remotely over Tailscale and it’s been working perfectly.
