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.

(Disclaimer that I’m still new-ish to Linux)
I just went about a year between EndeavorOS updates on a laptop and uhh… it wasn’t happy. I just installed Kubuntu which hopefully will be more forgiving haha.
I don't get why so many folks try niche stuff when the tried and proven solution is out there.
Tumbleweed, excellent support for KDE, rolling, great defaults, snapshots out of the box, lots of support/documentation, OBS...
Snapshots require btrfs though, don't they?
Yes, you are correct
