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.

Final thoughts on my Linux daily driving choice (feddit.org)

So, few days ago I asked the thread which distro they'd recommend and one of the most recommended was debian and debian based. But I for myself(Even though the post says otherwise) now chose to use an arch based distro, because of the better supported and newer nvidia drivers as well as automatic hardware detection. So I wanted to hear some experiences of you, that you may have had in the past considering EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Manjaro and Arch itself. I personally have gone for Manjaro now, kind of hoping that it won't break on the attempt to cut themselves of the company side of Manjaro and becomming they're own non-profit.

Greetings, Konke

I used Manjaro many years ago...close to a decade. It always worked for me even though I saw other complaining. Back then there was more fiddling you needed to do. I switched to fedora for a long while but wanted back to arch. I chose endeavor. I've been using endeavor for a couple years on my main laptop and I love it. Been working perfectly no issues. I think my next choice I will try cachy though. I have bazzite on a tv computer for steam and emulation but honestly I'd rather not have the steam deck mode and just use big picture when I want. Bazzite is a bit of a pain and I don't think I would do it again.
