A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

I would recommend using Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu without Gnome Shell and snaps. They use Flatpak instead. I have been enjoying it ever since I jumped ship from Ubuntu about 2 years ago.

I was using EndeavourOS when I ran into the wall that a lot of stuff didn’t have builds on AUR that I needed (and didn’t feel like compiling myself or they didn’t provide source code)

Not only that, LMDE 6 based on Debian 12 shouldn’t be too far off, which should be a substantial upgrade to the base system.

Linux Mint 21.2 is in beta, they previously said LMDE 6 should be about a month after the 21.2 release.

@skillissuer @code Do more than consider! - It’s perfect.
Maybe not cutting edge, exciting or novelty-filled but dependable, and rock solid.

Debian 12 shipped with the latest kde plasma version, but the distro is designed to be stable, with a capital S. The packages will not update until the version does.

Flatpaks are a great way to get modern software on a stable OS like debian. If neon has a flatpak version, it would be a good answer.

You could check backports.

I don’t usually need the absolute latest so I’m fine waiting for stuff to reach testing.

I’d suggest if you want stock and recent Gnome, stick with Fedora.

Pop is building their own DE that they will switch to sometime in 2023. Which also mean they will remain 22.04 till then.

I’m waiting for VanillaOS 2.0 release to see if it is any better.

I’m thinking pop os or just boring plain debian. This snap shit is just getting too much to bother with.

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.
