Wanted to know if there’s such a thing as Debian based distro but make it Rolling release, is that something already in existence or will I have to just tinker a lot within Debian?

    I’m not well versed with Linux but I saw a lot of people saying open SUSE tumbleweed was pretty good. I’m gonna try this today for my new low power Plex/home bridge machine.

      This is an excellent suggestion, but be mindful that suse is an RPM-based distribution and upgrades will necessarily install slower than other formats. If that’s not a problem (just run updates via cron) then it’s fine.

        It will probably be fine in practice (I hear openSUSE is relatively stable), but I wouldn’t recommend upgrading software automatically - you might end up with a broken system and no idea what caused it.

          I am currently looking at using OpenSUSE Micro OS for a home server. It is based on Tumbleweed and also rolling release, but it has an immutable filesystem and can automatically update and rollback. It’s similar to Fedora Core OS, which was my first choice, until the Red Hat drama.
