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?

    I still don’t want to do Fedora as I don’t want to touch the red hat situation with a 50m pole, but thanks for telling me how to disable that. I think I am going to try OpenSuse Leap to try to get a balance between new packages and stability. I also have been messing with KDE a bit so I think I might switch back to KDE for a bit. I’m still gonna switch distros for generally newer software and I might try the new Gnome when it comes to Leap.

      I think you’ll be happy with the management tools in OpenSuSE They literally make almost everything simple to set up, from a GUI perspective, and if you actually know what you’re doing, it will make your day so much less stressful.

      I installed opensuse leap just a month ago and I am loving it. A few things to get used to, but it’s a really well put together project
