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've reinstalled Windows so many times over the years I could get everything I needed setup in under an hour max.
I'm still pretty new to Linux so starting again from scratch kinda scares me, Tho I'll probably move from Endeavour to vanilla Arch sometime soon since my install has gotten pretty messy lately.
There's other distros I've been curious about and messed around with in virtual machines but putting it on my main PC to daily drive is another thing.
