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 used it for over a year:
idk how many times it failed to boot after an update
the update script just died one day and I had to remember to manually
mkinitcpioor it would fail to bootit would crash or freeze occasionally
PS

I'm using endeavourOS too, I didn't even know there was an update script. We don't all just use pacman?
I don't know the specifics, but when you
-Syuand there's a kernel update, at the end of the update it will run some additional commands. I'm pretty sure that's normal pacman behaviour, but I haven't used vanilla Arch in a while. At that pointmkinitcpiowould fail silently, I couldn't boot afterwards, and there were no warnings about it. Running the command manually would work without an issue and allow me to boot again.EOS uses standard pacman and the kernel is the standard Arch package. It is identical.
