What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

    I can only speak to my own personal experience: Fedora and Suse are doing the best, especially with immutable distributions.

      My only problem with Fedora (Workstation) is that it really likes upgrade though restart. And upgrades are daily. It can’t can be turned off (to not require restart) on KDE variant, but I didn’t find an option on Gnome one.

            Yep, without a restart anything running will be the old version until the process is restarted (or the whole system is).

            You’ll also probably want to do a flatpak update along with dnf upgrade

        Uninstalling GNOME Software should do that if you just want to upgrade traditionally through dnf upgrade and you don’t need GNOME Software.
