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.

Is this distro somewhat beginner friendly? I've used Zorin and a little bit of Mint before.
To be fair, at this point any distro is beginner friendly.
Just stay away from Gentoo, and from arch if you don't want the maintenance burden.
That's good to know. I think my question comes from trying out Endeavor, could not figure it out lol.
I'd say it's beginner-friendly. This is only my fourth distro, so I'm still relatively new, but it wasn't that hard. If you can manage to get past the installer, it's actually very straightforward. Most stuff is already configured; it's pretty cool.
Cool, thank you for sharing! Will definitely give this a spin.
edit: which desktop environment are you using here?
