Peertube’s definitely still emerging, but it’s worth checking out! A good way to shop for reliable instances is to sort Peertube’s instance list by Most Users, and look for one that uses the latest server version (5.1.0 at the time of posting).

I’d also suggest checking out the instance’s About page, making sure its administered in a language you know (fyi a lot are French b/c of who makes Peertube) and that the moderation is to your liking.

Some notable instances:

• TILvids.com - English; learning-focused; isn’t federated with other instances tho, so basically just one site
• video.antopie.org - French; leftist
• diode.zone - English; well moderated

Consider Fedora Linux! It strikes a thoughtful balance between being up-to-date (e.g. Arch) vs stable (e.g. Ubuntu LTS): its kernel and packages are very recent but tested thoroughly on the system before release.

Fedora is also known for pushing forward new Linux technologies like Wayland, Pipewire, Flatpak, as well as the latest versions of GNOME.

I use Fedora on my Framework laptop, and it works great! Specifically, I use Silverblue, an official variant that makes the system immutable and image-based, which has various stability/maintenance benefits.

Whatever distro you choose, be sure to check Framework’s docs for setting it up: https://frame.work/linux
