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.

Bazzite was my first attempt at really daily driving Linux. I ended up on Aurora dev and I don't have any reasons to move to something different.
The U-Blue OSs really feel like the future to me.
Incredibly cool tech, but it just works.
I daily drive Aurora on my work laptop on an external usb c m2 nvme ssd via a caddy. I love it.
Are you using devpods? It's always been buggy for me.
Yup, you can just do your Arch (or other distro-hopping) stuff in a distrobox if you want. Break it, blow it away and start fresh, uBlue don't care... Switch DEs, that's a one liner (although Gnome and KDE still don't play well together, so use a fresh user). What's not to love?
