I also find Manjaro nicely stable, but lately as I update my past life linux experience, several distros seem stable here in VMware 17.6.1. Running FreeBSD the past 2 days, and it is smoothing out nicely. Perhaps a little more work needed out of the box, but that's what I wanted...Not codec related but a known issue. And to be honest, i always miss Manjaro because its the only distro thats stable and runs smooth for me
I am starting to think linux garbled audio is not codecs but hardware -- I don't have speakers but I do use headphones and wondering if there's special special audio files needed for them although win10 has no problems with my headphones. More testing tomorrow.Probably driver/codec related issue as eluded by @lokamoka820. I never had such issue in my main PC or VM. openSUSE is a distro that is almost ready out of the box except codecs similar to Fedora for example.
You need to do this for codecs in openSUSE,
The audio issue that you experienced on Debian happens for me on some other distros also in a vm like Arch or something Arch based like EndeavourOS and also Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed, I think. I needed to install codecs for those specific distros. I also use headphones (earphones to be exact).I am starting to think linux garbled audio is not codecs but hardware -- I don't have speakers but I do use headphones and wondering if there's special special audio files needed for them although win10 has no problems with my headphones.

Running Fedora 40 since last night. Wow very nice! but briefly heard some garbbled audio, but too jammed up for next few hours to test it various ways...The audio issue that you experienced on Debian happens for me on some other distros also in a vm like Arch or something Arch based like EndeavourOS and also Fedora and openSUSE Tumbleweed, I think.

I stop with Rolling Distro, went to :Running Fedora 40 since last night. Wow very nice! but briefly heard some garbbled audio, but too jammed up for next few hours to test it various ways...
For codecs in Fedora follow these two pages one after another:Running Fedora 40 since last night. Wow very nice! but briefly heard some garbbled audio, but too jammed up for next few hours to test it various ways...
Ubuntu is my other Gnome distro. I did not use U that much but it seemed very good, but comparing 2 days with Ubuntu with 2 days of Fedora, I'm liking Fedora better. Debian also good but seemed a tad "limited" with software, but I'm not looking to install & run lots of software. I like SELinux on fedora as I used to run CentOS (ages ago). Fedora seems to have SELinux and firejail correctly configured default out of the box.I stop with Rolling Distro, went to :
Advanced Security - TuxTalk - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Configuration
What a journey! Manjaro was doing so well, untill it locked me out of the SU inlog, meaning no Password was working anymore. System restore has not run yet so no way to restore, and to restore, yes, need the SU Password ! Reading on the Manjaro forum no luck, no option to reset or change...malwaretips.com
At first yes untill I encountered issues I never had with Ubuntu. I hope they will not pop up on your Fedora.Ubuntu is my other Gnome distro.

Great security out of the box The main reason I tend to opt for rolling release is because of updates of apps. If I get problems on Arch/Tumbleweed then I would use Fedora as the packages are updated enough and it's stable.I like SELinux on fedora as I used to run CentOS (ages ago).

defaultyes=True

True, but for me not anymore, i just need a stable system, apparmor and i hardened the system. Runs perfect,Great security out of the box The main reason I tend to opt for rolling release is because of updates of apps.

Consider doing adding these two lines on, "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf"
well if I have anything to do about it, I'm sure they'll popup sooner or laterAt first yes untill I encountered issues I never had with Ubuntu. I hope they will not pop up on your Fedora.
Well, most non-rolling distros are stable especially the ones like Debian, Ubuntu and other distros based on them. Fedora is updated more than Ubuntu but less than Arch/Tumbleweed. It's at a nice balanced point between both worlds but in theory would be less stable than Ubuntu. Kernels are regularly updated on Fedora and new kernels have security and performance enhancements.True, but for me not anymore, i just need a stable system, apparmor and i hardened the system.

Smooth like butter and secure.
today I have 5 nix in VMware, I will probably cut it down to 2 eventually. If I had to pick today, I'm thinking Manjaro w/xfce4 and Fedora w/gnome. But nothing final about that...True, but for me not anymore, i just need a stable system, apparmor and i hardened the system. Runs perfect,

Fedora is RedHats playground for testing.Well, most non-rolling distros are stable especially the ones like Debian, Ubuntu and other distros based on them.

Also apparently, SE Linux which Fedora uses provides more security than AppArmor but both are great. Arch for example don't have either but setting up AppArmor with recommended policies is not too difficult.
Well @simmerskool, if you're going to have an "F" so am Itoday I have 5 nix in VMware, I will probably cut it down to 2 eventually. If I had to pick today, I'm thinking Manjaro w/xfce4 and Fedora w/gnome. But nothing final about that...

Debian repos are not configured too, this is why it is limited in software, you need to enable "contrib" and "non-free" repos in software and updates app:Ubuntu is my other Gnome distro.

Ubuntu have an LTS release and regular release, the LTS gets updates every 2 years and the regular every 6 months like fedora. Debian have 3 branches: stable, testing and Sid, so you can get updates depending on the branch you choose, and there is SparkyLinux which is based on Debian and have 2 editions: stable and semi-rolling, the semi-rolling is based on Debian testing but what is interesting about it that it gets stable updates daily, and complete tested snapshot update every 3 months, which will make it fresh and more stable than Debian testing itself.Well, most non-rolling distros are stable especially the ones like Debian, Ubuntu and other distros based on them.
