    No. Niche, hipster, “latest hotness” distros sometimes vanish. Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Kali, Qubes, Mint are all examples of community maintained distros that have been around for a long time.

    Since you’re looking for “stability” highly recommend Mint.

      And with community maintained distros like Debian and Fedora, you kinda get the best of both worlds. You have a mostly community distro that doesn’t have corporate interests pushed on it, but have a corporation paying developers to work on it because it’s in their interest to.
