What NORMAL distribution kit to put with the freshest programs?

Question

linux

I have a laptop and I need to install a linux distribution on it. The laptop is powerful enough (8GB RAM, i5-8250, gtx 1050). But there is a condition: it must be stable and have the latest programs (well, it will be some archetype distro thread). The PC is running Xubuntu. Everyone is happy except for 2 things: since it is based on debian, then you don’t have to think about the latest versions of the prog, and the driver does not work very well (you have to enter and exit the console mode at startup so that “everything” “appears”).
I installed kubuntu 2 times and both times the system simply self-destructed either after updating the programs, or after installing some kind of program thread (my programs stupidly flew out, I couldn’t even turn off the PC without a console, and then a black screen). I installed kde, but I didn’t like it right away (and I had to install a ton of micro-progs to install the old software).
Installed (further installed on a laptop) manyara KDE - the system simply did not start. After I installed xfce manyara, I started it not from the first and not even from the tenth time. When I tried to install the mhwd driver (Manyarov's program for installing drivers), it simply did not work. But after a while, various modules (power, internet, sound) began to fail, and the fn + F1 keys [and other combinations] worked with a wild delay and the modules associated with them stopped working for the delay: reduced screen brightness: hung - xfce power module , and the brightness decreased when the module had already drooped, turned down the sound - pulseAudio hung. There are still problems with the appearance, namely, on forms, the text merges with the background color of the background, in some programs the menu merges with the background colors. Please do not lose my faith in Linux, and so I went through all the rakes. Who am I? I just,
PS Is it possible to install pacman in ubuntu 0-o?

Answer 1

it must be stable and have the latest programs

"I want the car to accelerate to a hundred in a second and be completely safe at the same time."
Dude, buy a moped. Or put Windu (a wish on behalf of the Linuxoids present).

Answer 2

It's more like that the problems are not in the distro or hardware, but in who is in front of him. Choose what you personally need according to the criteria. Any distr can be brought to freshness. Complain that something does not work / does not work well / the last thing is buggy and it should come after carefully reading the intricacies of the distribution and specifically your hardware.
Well, if you want freshness, then the most relatively simple one is arch \ manjara. For all situations, there is an arch wiki where everything is written extremely conveniently and quite thoroughly. I don’t want to bother then install absolutely any distribution even though debian, but take the test branch / dev branch or something like Tumbleweed as in opensuse.
Specifically, you now have a desire to get a "button that does well", this does not happen. Everything is quite simple here, if a laptop is even with a discrete one, then you automatically get crap of varying degrees with firewood for video, especially if it is built-in + a discrete one. Again, if the laptop is very likely to get another joke associated with CPU power profiles. Hotkeys are a separate issue altogether. Themes\colors, are you serious?)
And besides, if you consider yourself a "beginner programmer", then you certainly should be able to read the documentation and therefore understand at least a minimal "cause-effect".

Answer 3

Definitely Debian

Answer 4

opensuse tumbleweed

Answer 5

Windu.
And I'm not joking at all, despite the fact that I've been working with UNIX since my shaggy years.
Installing linux on a laptop is always sex of varying degrees of perversion. Installing linux so that all devices work is an overdose of sex, an abyss of manual work, reading a zillion mana and sorting out a zillion options. If you want a distribution with fresh versions - put source-based - and they will be exactly the same as you manage to assemble. If you pull it, of course, because source-based ones are designed for a huge amount of manual work ...
And if you want "all at once" - put Windows, in the end they did it for this :)

Answer 6

Xubuntu

Xubuntu is based on Ubuntu and uses the Ubuntu repositories.
The latest versions can always be obtained through ppa, or from the website of the software manufacturer.
Before installing Linux on a laptop, it is advisable to google notebook_model_name linux install
Belief in Linux should not depend on the laptop manufacturer!

Answer 7

I recommend Linux Mint. Previously, I also struggled with debian, then moved to ubuntu / xubuntu - but they did not live for more than six months, they crashed. On Mint - flight 3 years, everything is fine
