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.
Most package managers allow you to fix a package so it doesn’t get updated. You could do that while you research what is causing the issue.
It’s unlikely (though not impossible) that it’s fedora specific. If you’re looking to try something new anyway, Rhino Linux has an interesting live USB image.
