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 swear most of the people that talk about using arch these days dont even use arch and instead use distros downstream of arch.
I switched from Arch to Endeavour because it was a faster set up time and the end result isn’t different
I've been using archinstall it's actually pretty good now.
Yeah, nothing wrong with using endeavour i just dont consider that to be arch. I'm mainly triggered by steamOS users saying thry use arch. That drives me insane.
Ooo that's me. I used to run arch (BTW), but last time I went Manjaro. I installed it like 4 years ago though and way too old and lazy to distro hop anymore
Same here.
Manjaro is good enough for me, even though I hear one should use Endeavour or whatever.
