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?

    LFS

    You can make it literally whatever you want at the cost of some time. And you’ll learn stuff.

      well, they would be using the “default package manager”—exclusively.

      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.
