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
>>57315002
Ubuntu senpai. Even linux mint.
>>57315068
>>57315092
OP said no bloat
Debian stable or testing. Comes with the added bonus of not being maintained by Canonical Jews but a volunteer foundation.
>>57315117
Debian minimal netinst with no DE
>>57315114
Wait take that back ubuntu has bloatware. Just get linux mint.
>>57315002
>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
>>57315155
Guix exists
>>57315114
>>57315138
Wasn't there a security controversy with Mint just recently, something about holding back updates?
>>57315068
>>57315117
Bodhi Linux
ubuntu based and very minimal
Mageia
urpmi > apt-get
>>57315155
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.
>>57315117
>muh bloat
Just fuck off already. Ubuntu netinst minimal exists for the truly autistic. Now go away.
>>57315002
>non-meme
>apt based
choose one
>>57315210
Mageia is shit tho, how could you be so mean to OP?
>>57315214
>Just fuck off already
No, you fuck off. It's not my fault you can't read.
>>57315215
>you
>autistic sperglord
Choose two.
>>57315233
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.
>>57315002
Why not Solus?
Fedora on the desktop. CentOS on the server. Get RHEL certified. Get a real job. Get money, get paid.
>>57315233
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
>>57315233
Mageia is a solid option desu.
>>57315250
took the bait
