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 don't see the problem

I often use Arch in a container, when I need a fhs distro. EndeavourOS is great for desktop use if you don't want to go through the Arch install process.

DeltaChat is an awesome messenger. It's federated, quick and simple to use. Also, I didn't realize DC was on the fediverse for so many years.

Yeah, arch isn’t the most welcoming to new users, or so I’ve heard lol.

I really like Debian I was using Arch before, but Debian looks better to me

Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can't recommend EndeavorOS more. It's great.

Mint BTW

Bah ha ha! All the main distros are amazing these days. You really can't go wrong with most. And if one doesn't work, just pick another of the top 5.

God I love lemmy, I would have probably never known about EndeavorOS otherwise. Time to fire up a vbox VM and give this thing a whirl.
