    Most of distros use the same projects code-wise, some just add some patches or lag months behind. I mean, it doesn’t really matter, just do it. You’ll either be happy with anything or outgrow whatever you pick up now. And either sooner or later land using one that you will decide is absolutely the best, or just have vague preferences in the end
    But it’s the journey that does it, not a particular distro



  • What do you do when you update the release point? You don’t suddenly discover that alsa is a thing of the past and half of the system migrated to pulse now? That a distro package for light http or socks or some other niche is discontinued and now you have to migrate to another software? And you can’t approach those one at a time, as in a new installation or rolling release, either you migrate or you don’t?
    Those were my observations



  • Wow. That name brought some memories

    Looking at wiki

    a rolling release
    Initial release November 22, 2013

    So it seems it’s rather mature distro and since it’s rolling release, it should be rather up-to-date, without reinstalling every half a year

    I’m not sure where to browse the official package list, but loooking at pkgs.org:

    • Lx 5.0 looks outdated. Wine version on it is 8.20 (current stable release is 9.22)
    • Rolling, on the other hand, might be too on the edge. It has wine 10, which is release-candidate, not stable yet

    But maybe I’m missing something in how the distro manages versions

    The rolling one is definitely worth trying, IMO
