What are you thinking for debian-based? Something also not Ubuntu-based, or no?
#SparkyLinux seems neat, I should check them out. Almost feel bad for calling them out publicly on Fedi for having an X account link prominently displayed on their webpage. XD

Ich hatte das missverstanden. Sorry.
Aber nun bin ich auch ab der Antwort interessiert.
#siduction und #sparkylinux kommen ja nicht infrage.

SparkyLinuxDonateAs you probably know, SparkyLinux is a no-profit project. It means we don’t sell anything so we don’t earn the money. But… The work we make with Sparky and on our forums takes a lot of time.
Dear Friends!
The end of the month is coming soon, and our bar has only 37% of donations.
The US giant has deprived us of 1/2 of our advertising revenues and now our hope lies with you, which is why we kindly ask you for support.

There is a new application available for Sparkers: Sparky Package Tool. Sparky Package Tool is a dialog based front-end to the APT. It is a small and simply front-end which works in a text console. https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-package-tool/ #linux #sparkylinux
So, also ich habe jetzt auf meinem PC #Sparkylinux installiert und auf dem Laptop #MXLinux. Gefällt mir bis jetzt sehr gut.

I began with sparkylinux-2024.02-x86_64-kde.iso, can't guess from the filename whether that was stable.
About SparkyLinux tells the OS version number (8) and code name, neither of which is mentioned at <https://sparkylinux.org/download/rolling/>.
<https://wiki.sparkylinux.org/doku.php/code_names> mentions Debian 13 “Trixie”, I can't guess whether that's stable.
7.6 only at <https://sparkylinux.org/download/stable/>, so it seems that 8 is the (semi-)rolling release.
<https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,6644> it might have been broken – not fixable with the command below – for around seven months:
apt --fix-broken install
Postscript: found, <https://sparkylinux.org/sparky-2024-02/>.
