That’s why God invented OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for all your stable rolling release needs.
what about void linux
Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!
what did you have trouble with?
Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.
Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I’ll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.
As an Arch User who keeps hearing about OpenSUSE being a more stable rolling release…mind going into it a bit more? I’m happy on my system, mind, but idk, could be I’m missing out on something big for not making the jump. If nothing else, I’ll know my options
Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.
I use Gentoo. Most of my fstab entries are by partuuid, which works for me.
To be frank I went away from Gentoo for much the same reason. And the constant compilation. I only used it once after that for a small project where I needed to minimise what actually lands in the OS.
But all that was years ago.
I’ve had great results with EndeavourOS
So it is btrfs snapshot time again and making it a bootable backup before
pacman -Syu?I have had only single time I remember when the Arch upgrade truly fucked up the system: libreadline.so was broken so bash didn’t work. :D
I always have a second bootable system in case the main system is unable to boot… So I can at least troubleshoot the main system.
I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.
Fedora + Nix package manager and never look back!
