From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Need a new distro(or help with fedora (self.linux)

So I have a new installation of fedora, which I reinstalled because gdm would freeze and prevent me from logging in and using my computer. I then noticed the same problem on the new installation. I noticed that using an older kernel worked, but system upgrades will break gdm again. I don't want to have to never update my system. New distro? Suggestions to fix this? I ideally want an relatively bleeding edge distro.

I have to agree with the commenter suggesting a different display manager. SDDM or LightDM.

Otherwise, I'd try a few LiveUSBs and see which distro doesn't bork on you. If you want to stick to Fedora, I'd suggest Nobara

This may just as well be a kernel or mesa or whatever bug, switching random components without any info doesnt make sense.
