    Man I’m at the point where I would like to pay for a Linux distribution(ofc. under the assumption that source remains open) if that meant that someone was responsible for stuff working reliable. I hate my headphones not connecting via Bluetooth. I would like a consumer ready distribution and don’t want fiddle around with problems potentially everybody has to solve. Why do there have to 10000+ different package managers with 10000 different incomplete package sources?

        Yeah, SUSE, REL, Ubuntu have paid support. SUSE started as a service support company before spinning their own.

      There are paid subscriptions with support. You could also test out other distros, the currated nature of some distros means a problem in one doesn’t show up in another.

      I.e. My wife’s laptop is a samsung from 2010. Debian derivatives won’t run because of a bios bug that halts the system, or even halts install. Fedora or SUSE run fine, it shows the bug and works around it.
