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.

Personally, my only wish for Bazzite is a Cosmic version 👼 I tried it out recently and it seems fairly impressive
Long time Debian user, short time Arch user, even shorter Fedora user.
I Switched a few devices over to Bazzite this year, and it's genuinely game changing. A distro that just works, and stops me from breaking core system stability? But also allows me to install stuff using rpm-ostree and add other distros using distro shelf?
Don't get me wrong I love compiling from source on Arch, but god damnit, sometimes I need an OS with guard rails, and it won't be Windows or MacOS for damn sure.
This isn't your average Glupshitto Linux
Exactly this.
I am likewise a long time Debian user, different flavors, on and off. Played with Arch a little. Never touched fedora.
Installed Bluefin on my main laptop almost a year ago, haven't looked back. The stability is exactly what I was looking for. It just works, and protects me from myself.
But still my proxmox is full of mostly Debian servers, I still value a traditional install.
But you better believe that when my buddy asked for help with Windows 10 EOL, one of the options I gave him was Linux. He was curious, we went over pros and cons, now he's running Bluefin too.
You act like arch is gentoo :P compiling on arch is like a blue moon event. You complie on arch about as much as you would on fedora.
Don't tell me how to use Arch!
