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.

If so, what do you think about it? I just made the switch from endeavourOS. I had some technical issues at first but that's all fixed now and I'm really impressed. I thought I was done distro-hopping but apparently not.

I'm currently using the handheld edition on my steam deck and I like it much better than steam os. Mainly it's because I can actually use the aur and not rely on flatpack. It also doesn't override my tweaks when the os updates.
