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 still hop but less often, I always come back to an Arch-based distro though, mainly because there's so much in the AUR. Garuda at the moment after quite a long time with EndeavourOS, and a very short time with Nobara before that.
Garuda is very nice. Only thing I have atm is that there are some issues with updating the system where it doesn't connect to the garuda repo servers or whatever. I'm not proficient enough to know if it's their stuff that breaks or the base arch, so I wonder if doing the tedious thing and installing a base arch system myself would be better to understand everything. It's my first linux system for reference.
