Hello, fellow internet users. I am currently using Debian but would like a distro to try the new Gnome on. I have been using Debian for a while and I love the stability, but would like newer packages. I also, for no rational reason, would like to be able to use the default package manager exclusively. I used Fedora before and liked it more than Debian (apart from that it felt vaguely Windowsey) but I would like to distance myself from the whole red hat thing. What distro do you think I should get?
Ah! I see what you’re talking about! That particular load screen is becoming pretty common these days, although the themes differ quite a bit. I kind of miss the text flying by too, at least sometimes.
If you’re wanting to try out Gnome 45, the Fedora 39 beta is probably the easiest way. That’s what I’m doing. The loading screen you’re talking about is called Plymouth, and it can be easily disabled:

This process should work on any system running Plymouth.
