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.

What Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

I switched over to KDE Neon from OpenSUSE Tumbleweed a couple weeks ago. I was a long time Ubuntu user until a botched upgrade forced a fresh install and I thought I'd try something new. Ran OpenSUSE Leap until I moved in January and something must have gone wrong in the move since my PC suddenly wouldn't boot anymore. So on my new PC tried Tumbleweed, but I got tired of messing with Mesa and codecs all the time so I jumped to Neon since I grew to like KDE so much in the nine months or so I've been using it. Now I'm relearning how to use a Debian-based distro, lol.
