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?
Yeah, I feel like OP may not have actually used Fedora… By default Fedora is probably the least similar to Windows of any major distro (this is actually one of the most commonly expressed frustrations with new users).
