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.

I switched from Manjaro over one year ago and there's no reason to pick it over EOS or Arch IMO.
Now between EOS and Arch, some people will say to go straight with Arch, and if you're comfortable with that I'd agree. But the installer made me choose EOS. I'm a heavy CLI user, but I don't want to use the command line to re-partition my disk, even using archinstaller. EOS gives me a better off-the-shelf installation and that's a good enough reason to choose it for me.
