Suggestions for my next distro

Debian... but also to clarify it's not "old" at all. I'm using Debian on my servers, yes, but also on my desktop that use daily, to work and to play video games on, including VR. So... don't think because it's "old" and "stable" it means it's outdated.

Very true I have been a Debian user since 98. I have tried other distros but it only lasts a month or two before I come back. Debian just works and if you need something newer testing works great got home use. I can wait a little when freeze happens and worse case I have flatpak and distrobox to fall back on.

LFS is the only true distro

I don’t agree with the first half. I’ve upvoted comments mentioning Debian because it’s the one I would recommend, but it’s not my favorite and none of my daily drivers use it.

However, I agree with the second half. OP seems to be avoiding actually fixing the issue and is hoping that rolling the dice on another distro will fix at least the USB issue. Fixing the issue on OpenSUSE will likely guide them to learn something helpful along the way and they won’t need to re-setup everything else.

Debian and a BSD (FreeBSD is nice) can run for years without a reboot.

Certain activities will often push a machine to crash. 3D gaming, network drive mounts on an unstable network, and some drivers.

No distro is going to fix a true hardware problem.
