Maybe what I’m looking for is the holy grail, but what do you guys suggest as a Distro with a good balance between stability and up-to-date packages?

      +1 for Tumbleweed, it works so incredibly well. In the very rare case where an update doesn’t work out for you, you can easily roll back to a previous btrfs snapshot.

      Fedora is quite nice, too, but I’ve come to prefer rolling distros over a release based one.

      Kalpa / Aeon might be interesting, too, if your use case fits an immutable distro.

      This or Fedora which per release cycle aims for binary compatibility but happily updates packages if compatibility stays fine.

      After many years on Ubuntu I switched to a Tumbleweed and couldn’t be happier. Apparently a rolling distro can be more reliable than a traditional point-release one.
