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.

Just checking in to confirm #endevouros is the better choice in most cases.

It's been 11 months and I haven't heard any talk about Manjaro for a while, not much about Endeavouros either. I'm sure Endeavouros is still a good choice but Cachyos has become really popular and I have started using it as my first arch based distro and it's great so far.
