Does anyone have a GNU / Linux distribution to be recommended? Possibly with a small number of packages. I had a bad experience with Debian 9 (XFCE) and its malfunctioning network-manager. I'm looking for something that is properly configured.
No Ubuntu, because is full of unused shit.
No Gentoo or Arch-Linux. I have no time for install these.

I've been using Debian Jessie (GNOME) since it came out and I've never had an issue with it. I can work perfectly fine with it. I'm not really a fan of the default file browser in GNOME though.
-openvpn works well
-never had issues with wifi or ethernet
-able to play vidya
-dual monitor works fine

Maybe an ubuntu flavour like Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Mate, etc.

Not Debian's fault networkmanager is shit. There are other options.
Henry Gray
network-manager died on me during a recent stretch update as well.

Yes, i have installed WICD, and the problem has been solved, but i can't tolerate the malfunction of the default network manager.
Owen Cook
Blame Red Hat then.
Blake Baker
Mate is full of software that I will never use and I can not even delete.
Xubuntu? Hmm..
Kubuntu no, because KDE is seriously problematic..
Samuel Martinez
Linux mint?
Nathaniel Nguyen
So.. I'm not the only one with this problem.

It's Ubuntu-based, so not. I hate Ubuntu :\ .
Jack Gutierrez
But you're using Jessie (stable) . I can't use that, because i need an updated kernel.
Jacob Garcia
look up apt pinning
you can run stable with whatever packages you like
Lincoln Stewart
>updated kernel
go to kernel.org
download kernel
compile and install kernel
continue to run Jessie.
Julian Bennett
Fedora MATE minimal web install.
Nathaniel Perry
An-hero distro with custom kys-kernel
Julian Mitchell
openSUSE
Bentley Gutierrez
TempleOS
Carson Smith
>debian
>compiling
this isn't gentoo
see
Hunter Jones
get a newer kernel from backports mate, no compilation required
Liam Anderson
Then get Stretch/testing. It will be released as stable before this year ends so it's stable enough today for typical desktop usage.
Dominic Scott
Manjaro.

>I have no time for install these
If you want a non-shit system that just werks once you set it up initially, you're going to have to make time. Gentoo and Arch are literally the only worthwhile distributions besides the freetard-approved ones. Gentoo for poweruser programmers and Arch for people who just want an individually tailored OS.
Jack Sanchez
Keep using Debian, just install MATE.
Henry Long
Are you sure the network-manager does not have the same problem on Mate?

Puppy Linux is ready-to-use and requires no extra installation of software. Some hundred MB, so not a lot of extra software.

Bodhi, Tiny Core Linux, and if you can get over the anti-Ubuntu thing Lubuntu jump out as usable and well-respected, looking over this list.
