Non-Meme Desktop Distros?

By non-meme I mean:

>stable
>apt based
>minimal / no pre-installed bloatware
>regular security updates
>GUI installer

What should I be looking at gee?

Slackware. You're welcome.

You're just a noob, everybody serious about software has already switched to OpenIndiana

Literally only Ubuntu. Debian maybe.

Debian, Ubuntu, most active Ubuntu based distros.

Damn stallmans lookin rough

Ubuntu senpai. Even linux mint.

OP said no bloat

Debian stable or testing. Comes with the added bonus of not being maintained by Canonical Jews but a volunteer foundation.

Debian minimal netinst with no DE

Wait take that back ubuntu has bloatware. Just get linux mint.

>apt
>non-meme
With the exceptio nof pacman (or whatever arch uses nowadays) dpkg and it's extensions are probably THE shittiest mainstream liux package management system

Guix exists

Wasn't there a security controversy with Mint just recently, something about holding back updates?

Bodhi Linux

ubuntu based and very minimal

Mageia
urpmi > apt-get

True, but I'm not stupid enough to use an inferior distro just because a package manager has a shit fit once a year or so.

>muh bloat
Just fuck off already. Ubuntu netinst minimal exists for the truly autistic. Now go away.

>non-meme
>apt based
choose one

Mageia is shit tho, how could you be so mean to OP?

>Just fuck off already

No, you fuck off. It's not my fault you can't read.

>you
>autistic sperglord

Choose two.

I've used it recently, it's pretty decent.


Also OP you literally described debian. If you want more up-to-date software you can run debian testing, or ubuntu minimal.

Why not Solus?

Fedora on the desktop. CentOS on the server. Get RHEL certified. Get a real job. Get money, get paid.

Mageia 5 is top tier
it was rough in 4

>apt based
why not pacman so you can use the AUR, seriously

also you're looking at debian

Mageia is a solid option desu.

took the bait
