Hi, fellow /g/ users :D

I'm looking for a distro for my new laptop with Ryzen 4000 series. My requirements are stability, not based on another distro, big community and good security out of the box :D A couple of facts about mee &lt;3

>i'm a chud

>i HATE KDE and love GNOME

>i spend my free time posting here and watching anime

>I DON'T LIKE ARCH LINUX!!!!!

That narrows it down to, like, Debian and Gentoo. Maybe also Fedora (m'lady), but the other two are hard to match in stability, due to older packages and compiling everything locally for your exact needs, respectively.

It doesn't look very chud-friendly

Vicuna or Llama?

Ubuntu or Fedora.

>>93034086 (OP)

you're literally describing fedora

>>93034086 (OP)

Yeah another commenter said, its a toss up between Debain, Gentoo, or Fedora. Personally I would go Fedora, mainly cause I like to keep up on the latest gnome releases (Im a chud, I know), I would also use flatpak to help keep my base distro as clean as possible. Dont listen to the /g/oids here, if you know how to set up flathub, use flatseal, and have a hard drive >20GB you'll be fine. Also you need to learn how to install alot of propriety codecs and drivers cause fedora doesn't come with that:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/assembly_installing-plugins-for-playing-movies-and-music/

Hope this helps.

Oh and yeah, ubuntu is also good. It has better support (as in guides and turorials), larger app selection, allows you to install media codec on first install, and also comes with the latest gnome version. Issue is snaps and how they force it down your throat, so you may want to uninstall it. I currently only keep it for one app.

Heres a good vid on how to uninstall it and resplace it Flatpaks:

Unironically Gentoo

Should probably add justification:

Compile times aren't high with exception of like three niche programs and web browser tho I recommend brave-bin because it's got great out the box security and binary so you donc5 compile it. Stuff like Steam is also binary only too so no need to compile that either. Longest compilation will probably be the initial one and it's not that long either. You'll learn a lot about your system following the official guidebook step by step and it feels nice afterwards being able to troubleshoot things yourself. Gentoo is the most customizable distro out there, anything that works on any Linux can be used on it, feels pretty much like building your own car but it's free, maintainers really know what they're doing and in general the whole community is rather tech savvy, you get rolling release with all the up to date packages and for some you even have an option to automatically install the most recent github commit from source, you can also write ebuilds yourself which isn't too complicated to make your package manager work with any github repo or manually download the source code and build it which is always a simple experience because you have all the build tools installed already.

>is a chud

>has the bad taste to like GNOME

yep, this is what you want all right
