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 don’t want to do Fedora as I don’t want to touch the red hat situation with a 50m pole, but thanks for telling me how to disable that. I think I am going to try OpenSuse Leap to try to get a balance between new packages and stability. I also have been messing with KDE a bit so I think I might switch back to KDE for a bit. I’m still gonna switch distros for generally newer software and I might try the new Gnome when it comes to Leap.

I think you'll be happy with the management tools in OpenSuSE They literally make almost everything simple to set up, from a GUI perspective, and if you actually know what you're doing, it will make your day so much less stressful.
I installed opensuse leap just a month ago and I am loving it. A few things to get used to, but it's a really well put together project
