There is no one reliable distro. Mint, itself is based off Ubuntu and also releases LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).

If reliablility is measured in terms of how stable a distro is, then likely Debian with it's conservative approach to packaging updates comes to mind (No wonder large number of distros are based off Debian only).

I would even argue as long as someone isn't messing with a niche distro such as KDE Neon( meant to showcase KDE packages) or Linuxfx (or whatever it has renamed itself to, one of the few shady ones IMO ) or Trisquel OS (a GNU certified distro where running into dependency hell isn't new); it will suit user's case.

Debian, Slackware, Void, Zorin, even rolling release like Arch (basically any one that meets the user's use case is reliable)

    KDE Neon is dead because its developers found out that putting an add-on repository on top of Ubuntu is not reliable at all. That's why KDE Linux is now in development.

    I used Neon for a while, discovered that KDE were letting it go, and switched to Kubuntu. I love Kubuntu.

    Kubuntu comes with mandatory Ubuntu enshittification, though. All official Ubuntu flavors do.

    Other than snaps, what else are they doing wrong?

    That link comes up with an error. Do you know which software it is that is/was in the universe repo?

    Probably because you use a client that tries to open the link locally. OP deleted the post and that's why Lemmy cannot open its comments any longer, hence the Mastodon link that works fine in a web browser.

    Pretty much everything except the base OS and Gnome.
