I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I’m having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.

However, the reason I’m asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it’s connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.

I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?

    Yeah, that’s a good addition. Manjaro used to be popular many years ago. Tried it back then as a part of the usual distrohopping rite, and moved on. Many years after that people started pointing out all sorts of interesting things about it, but I wasn’t running Manjaro at the time, so my personal experiences are very outdated at the moment.
