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.

Looks like there has been some significant changes from 2022. But it's arch based...and the expert install is the same. So I'm not sure what you mean. It's just Linux.

Either way, I'm glad valve put so much effort into Debain/Arch + Proton. Amazing what they can do + the community behind wine.

They are technically both Arch based but outside of that they are fairly different.

So maybe not totally different bit they are not close to being the same either
