Hello, i am currently looking for a Linux distribution with these criteria:

-it should be more or less stable, comparable to Ubuntu with or without LTS // -it should not be related to IBM to any way (so no fedora/redhat) // -it should not feature snaps (no Ubuntu or KDE neon) // -KDE plasma should be installable manually (best case even installed by default) // -no DIY Distros //

I’ve been thinking about using an immutable distro, but if anyone can recommend something to me, I’d be very grateful //

Edit: I’m sorry for the bad formatting, for some reason it doesn’t register spaces

    OpenSUSE TW

    it should be more or less stable, comparable to Ubuntu with or without LTS

    It’s very stable and I’ve never had issues

    it should not be related to IBM to any way (so no fedora/redhat)

    It’s supported

    no DIY Distros

    It’s developed by SUSE.

    it should not feature snaps (no Ubuntu or KDE neon)

    It uses flatpaks

    KDE plasma should be installable manually (best case even installed by default)

    OpenSUSE is one of the few distributions that uses KDE Plasma by default.

      Isn’t TW the rolling-release variant?

      Maybe I’m just scarred from years of IT, but I would avoid recommending any rolling release to someone if they specified “stability” and were likely fresh out of the Ubuntu/Green Ubuntu kiddie pool.

      Just assume that they mean they want to set it up with minimal user interaction and then never, ever, ever have to change settings again.
