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?

    Just use guix or NixOS. Last package manager you’ll need

        I’m currently setting up a NixOS vm and ssh in to setup all the packages my current Ubuntu server runs. It’s been fun. I can’t wait to actually move over.
