   @7666@comp.lain.la I like YaST, the BTRFS default partition scheme is nice, I like zypper over dnf, Snapper support out of the box is great and it builds backups automatically before any update, and despite being a rolling release it's been the most stable distribution I've ever used. I actually prefer it being a rolling release for the newest packages. @Cocoa@nekosat.work

     @adiz @Cocoa Yast is a crutch similar to cpanel. I don't want some external application keeping state independent of the OS's own tracking.
     
     BTRFS can go on most distributions at this point if you want it. Debian has it if you choose it at setup time.
     
     Snapper is not a backup, it's a snapshot system. If your machine takes a shit it won't help you. If you get to a point of needing it, you fucked up and don't have a proper backup which is fuck up #2.
     
     Rolling releases introduce breaking changes and new features constantly vs. a point release model where it's just security and bugfixes, which have way less surface area to screw up. Can't tell you how many vulns I've avoided by just sticking with an LTS release vs. "The latest and greatest".
     
     There's a reason why I can run something like 60 virtual machines myself without IaC. It's because shit doesn't break when you don't introduce unnecessary entropy.

     @adiz @Cocoa I don't get the hype. I don't need yast, btrfs default is cute but ultimately can be done elsewhere, zypper is unnecessary when dnf exists, and snapper is a neat concept if you don't have backups for some reason.
     
     RPM based distros typically don't provide the value that their overhead with their association with ~ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE~ brings, and you're on a rolling release distro so have fun with being the guinea pig
