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.

network-manager died on me during a recent stretch update as well.
>reboot
>works again
>realise stretch=testing
>>
>>59878742
Yes, i have installed WICD, and the problem has been solved, but i can't tolerate the malfunction of the default network manager.
>>
>>59878828
Blame Red Hat then.
>>
>>59878740
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..
>>
>>59878631
Linux mint?
>>
>>59878798
So.. I'm not the only one with this problem.
>>
>>59878939
It's Ubuntu-based, so not. I hate Ubuntu :\ .
>>
>>59878723
But you're using Jessie (stable) . I can't use that, because i need an updated kernel.
>>
>>59879011
look up apt pinning
you can run stable with whatever packages you like
>>
>>59879011
>updated kernel

go to kernel.org
download kernel
compile and install kernel
continue to run Jessie.
>>
Fedora MATE minimal web install.
>>
>>59878631
An-hero distro with custom kys-kernel
>>
>>59878631
openSUSE
>>
>>59878631
TempleOS
>>
>>59879394
>debian
>compiling
this isn't gentoo
see >>59879367
>>
>>59879011
get a newer kernel from backports mate, no compilation required
>>
>>59879011
Then get Stretch/testing. It will be released as stable before this year ends so it's stable enough today for typical desktop usage.
>>
Manjaro.
>>
>>59878631
>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.

Keep using Debian, just install MATE.
>>
>>59879774
Are you sure the network-manager does not have the same problem on Mate?
>>
>>59878975

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.
