There are countless Distros that do not always make it easy to choose the one that best suits each person's needs and knowledge. This page, through a small test, proposes the Distro or Distros that best fit.

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.
