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.

Did this for a bit until i learned how to install arch and never looked back
~~I use arch btw~~
Wait until you try NixOS.
Nix stops you from hopping because it takes literal months to set everything up for a mortal.
I did try it on a second drive and was to stupid to understand the like config file where you specify your packages
There's a lot to explore after arch. We have Gentoo, NixOS, image-based distros like Silverblue. Swappable immutable core through ublue, leading you to bluefin or bazzite. Your journey is far from over
Nah i think it's pretty over... I have tried gentoo, nixos image based distros and all that. Even lfs. I'm quite comfortable with arch
