Stable Linux distro with up to date packages
Stable Linux distro with up to date packages
Maybe what I'm looking for is the holy grail, but what do you guys suggest as a Distro with a good balance between stability and up-to-date packages?

NixOS would fit the bill if you're not afraid of something different. With Nix it's trivial to cherry pick from unstable channel if you still want a stable base.

Is this not solved by using the "unstable" nixpkgs channel or is that something different?
I'm a NixOS newbie and still learning a lot about it haha

The stable branches promise no breaking changes (in configuration options etc.). Unstable is a rolling release with everything that entails (personally I use it on desktops and stable on servers).

tbf neither does Fedora.
But yeah, I would recommend either Debian or NixOS, depending on how stable you want it.
