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.

Oh! You might find this useful. It's a list of various setting changes/fixes I made after switching and encountering various issues, or annoyances. Some of these were under Kubuntu, most are under Garuda, but I don't think anything in there is distro-specific, so it should work on both Debian-based and Arch-based.
