Hello, fellow internet users. I am currently using Debian but would like a distro to try the new Gnome on. I have been using Debian for a while and I love the stability, but would like newer packages. I also, for no rational reason, would like to be able to use the default package manager exclusively. I used Fedora before and liked it more than Debian (apart from that it felt vaguely Windowsey) but I would like to distance myself from the whole red hat thing. What distro do you think I should get?
Red star OS
LFS
You can make it literally whatever you want at the cost of some time. And you’ll learn stuff.
Thanks but no. I like being able to learn but I am looking to daily drive and don’t have the prior knowledge to make that work.
Neither did I when I did LFS (and Beyond LFS), and I used it as a daily for years.
I want to be able to know my computer won’t crash at 11:58 pm when I am submitting assignments for school and things like that. I don’t trust myself to maintain a system that well. I would like to try to do LFS at some point but right now I am looking for something stable and easy.
Just use guix or NixOS. Last package manager you’ll need
Happy Nixos user here. Never looked back and after this ride I am not able to switch, cannot see the reason for imperativs anymore 😁
NixOS or gentoo
If you don’t mind learning a bit upfront (the installation process is low level but well documented) and want to experience a fantastic package manager, try Gentoo!
