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?

    That requires reboots to update.
    Nothing against Aurora, I might run my customized version of it new systems, but any system update requires you reboot the device.

      Sure, I was just expanding on OP’s Kinoite comment.

      Aurora can however go weeks or months without a reboot (you don’t HAVE to update), so that’s still ok.
