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.

It's kinda janky but I've been running HoloISO on my gaming rig for over a year and it was mostly pain free. To be clear I don't use that system for much more than gaming but recreational browsing and music/movies etc as well. It's fine.
Recent decisions by the maintainer to make that distro immutable have confused me and I'm thinking about switching to Endeavor. I was historically a Debian user. This was my first experience with Arch (btw) so I'd kinda like to get to know it a bit before we introduce thicker weeds and deeper rabbit holes thanks very much bye.
