  • Here is Distrochooser for you in a comment: Install Debian with GNOME, configure Flathub and enjoy the latest software on a rock solid , truly open and private OS. Done.

    Now seriously that website is cool.

    • Debian is okay, but needs a very manual setup. I would add automatic updates, removal of many bloat preinstalled apps, autoremove, adding nala and fish, etc.

      • It has automatic updates… at least with gnome software.

        • Automatic as in "no user interaction required"? Also gnome software uses packagekit, which makes updates less stable and slower.

          I dont need any confirmation dialog. A system has to either:

          • be stable
          • always autoupdate
          • give a message that a reboot is needed

          Or a Laptop or so also has to listen to battery state and unmetered network.

          Unmetered network is hard though, as its not a phone with cell Data but its always wifi, simply in case of a phone hotspot not unmetered. This is not recognized currently afaik, so all networks are set as unmetered and autoupdates would eat your cell data.
