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.

Arch
Reason: arch
Thats a pretty bad reason
Okay fine, I bite for once
There are two KISS principles for me
Easier to use for everyone, I.e. simple to use
"Fuck convenience, fuck ease of use and fuck you"
Arch subscribes to the latter, use endevouros if you want the former
Well, for the tech illerterate. Arch is pretty simple and excellent to manage as everything is simple in the system together with the Arch Wiki.
But this is only for those who tinker and manage their systems or want to learn more about the Linux system. Endeavour is better for the normal user who doesn't want to break their head. Its definetly not the KISS 1. Which you mentioned
