I'm looking for a slice of life anime, no drama, happy ending, linear plot, no plot twists, no surprises. Well, if it fits the above description, it can have whatever else in it.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (there's no real plot, just daily lives of high school boys)
School Rumble (if there's drama, it's mostly just comedic)
Baka to Test
Kimi no Todoke (there's ... kind of drama, but it's not really "dramatic")

If I remember any more, I'll let you know.

Don't worry about the 1st. It's just pure comedy, 0% of drama. Just get snacks and drinks and enjoy ^^

Seoncding Aria. It has everything that you're looking for and it's great. Start with aria the animation.
Kamichu!
Tamayura hitotose, a really sweet series that gives of the same feeling as watching Aria.

I wouldn't really call Usagi Drop chill or without drama. More like a good amount of drama and some tears :)

It does not have an ending but try these , they are one of my favorites.

Minami-ke Sequels (you've watched the first season)
Acchi Kocchi (cuteness overload)
Aria series (chill is not enough to describe this anime)
Shinryaku! Ika Musume (loads of laughs with this)
Arakawa Under the Bridge (random comedy and romance it's great)
Joshiraku (prepare your brain for loads of random dialogue)
Sankarea (it's is a little dark , but it sure is lighthearted , the manga is better although)
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (it deals with strange students and a teacher whos is always trying to suicide , but it deals with this in a comedic way)

i could say more , but i would be here forever hehe!

Idk why you say that , slice of life as it implies deals with daily lives , though sankarea may be a little off , all of the others deals with interaction between the cast with their respective routines (Minami-ke i don't have to say anything nor does Aria , ika musume and joshiraku deals with "work places" and SZS and AK are almost always in the school.

That's kind of a hard one, i feel that every anime has some of those qualities in it.

I guess if I could come close to that I would say...

Winter garden (it does have a slight bit of drama, but it's not extreme. It was there then it was gone.)
"People die if they get killed" who knew.

I don't mean to be rude but I agree. I think you have the whole slice of life meaning correct, but the correlation between the meaning and the shows I believe is slightly misconstrued. Maybe you should research a little of what slice of life genre are? Some of those are slice of life while others I'm not sure would be considered anywhere near that?

The op also wrote : "no drama, happy ending, linear plot, no plot twists, no surprises. Well, if it fits the above description, it can have whatever else in it."
So I guess Guibuni just thought it fitted in the "whatever else", not only Slice of Life. For those I saw out of this list, I think there is no huge drama or plot twists in there. They are not series I would have immediately recommended but I don't think they are particularly off either
