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 am not here to convince you, but if you happen to look at Linux again, check out Void.
Arch, but it's tested (no dis to arch here... Just a fact).
I don't know much about BSD, but apparently it's an hybrid of Linux and BSD. The Void creator is an NetBSD dev.
Not the best source, but here: https://itsfoss.com/void-linux/
Looks interesting. I do have a Linux machine for work due to software requirements. I will have a look at void.
Arch does have a testing repo though
Well, I believe it takes more than a day or 2 to really test a driver.
"Testing team" or not, by seeing the releases of, for example nvidia, I don't take their "testing" seriously...
No wonder so many people are complaining about the stability of arch...BTW... ;)
