From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe you mean Cachy OS or Tumbleweed?
Sure. I've heard a lot of praising words towards Cachy OS. Tumbleweed might be your thing if you're looking for an easy rolling release distro... I didn't mention any specific ones since we all use computers differently, we all have different use-cases, levels of expertise... And I also don't just use one distro. I have a different one on the server than on my laptop, I use yet a different one for retro gaming... There's just so much out there and depending on what exactly you do, could be any of a dozen or so different options and they're all good (or there's reasons to pick or not pick them...)
Leap nice too actually in direct comparing to Ubuntu LTS, I like leap cause it bases on suse enterprise
