Hello, I wanna know which distro could be could for productivity (not gaming). Maybe a debian based one, I don’t know and I don’t care about the desktop env. Thx!

    I’m gaming on Debian stable just fine. I don’t get what everyone’s thing with bleeding edge software all the time is. To me, “bleeding edge” means “higher chance for something to break and blow up in your face”.

    I’ll wait until the bleeding edge distro users got hit with all the bugs first. My preferences were just justified by the recent xz backdoor stuff.

        Seems to work just fine on my 2022 Gigabyte brand mobo with a 12-core AM5 socket Ryzen and Nvidia 3070ti GPU. Maybe it has trouble on things like laptops, which often have weird shit put in by their manufacturers? Or are you defining “very new” as “just released this month”?

          When I got my 30XX GPU around when they released, the drivers for it were buggy (on Windows too but especially Ubuntu). Since about 6 months after the cards came out, it’s been fine.

        I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!
