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.

Arch (BTW)
And with
archinstallI'd argue it's about as easy to install as most "normal" distros these days.I'd also agree... but everytime I tried to use archinstall, it always failed, felt impossible for me to install arch
dupe
I'm currently happy with it
So many powerful tools that are not easy to find on other distros.
Basically, have fine tuned my setup so much that it's almost impossible to think of another distro.
