      Fedora as stable distribution -> LOL

      really, try installing fedora from live cd after a few month and upgrade with ~ 2GB worth of updates,

      This is very unstable linux distro.
      it has awful and unstable package manager and it is the only distro which can crash and restart during updates.

      so stable indeed that they pushed a hack into a feature, they literally implemented updates to be done on restart,
      cause their package manager is TOO BAD to be able to update on a running system

      also they are notorious to break things after upgrade to latest 6 month version from previous one,
      recently 21.10 version broke all gnome plugins from 21.04 version…

      Hm. Arch linux as a stable linux distribution? Arch linux is rolling. Stable is complete opposite of rolling. Stable means a bit older software and you are assured by developers that your system will not break after the update. Arch linux is rolling. It has latest apps and latest kernel etc. Also updates come daily on rolling distros (all apps are updated whenever they release a latest version of their software) while stable distros release each year or even multiple years. Good stable distros are Debian, OpenSUSE Leap for example. Also Fedora is pure rolling. Arch and Fedora are two most known for being rolling. On the list Ubuntu and Linux mint are fine(sort of stable but it is still considered stable). OpenSUSE has two versions(stable and rolling).

      You forgot Debian – which Ubuntu and its variants are based on.
