Another pick me a distro

HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works to Linux@lemmy.ml – 27 points –

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?

Debian testing?

i don't think it's even in sid yet, at least not the released version of gnome 45.. which, like, just came out--yesterday.

check the pre-release dailies of ubuntu 23.10. it's due to be released next month and is slated for gnome 45. if you use the dailies, prepare for some... uh... 'instabilities'

Yeah, I should have been more clear. I meant I want to have it sometime this year. I know of Arch and Gentoo for quick releases, and I know Debian for lts, but I was looking for more of a middle ground.
