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.

Not liking Arch is exclusively a skill issue. You may prefer stable release distros, but you won't find a rolling release distro better than Arch.

Tumbleweed is way worse, zypper is very bad, it's backed by a corporation, no AUR, it's honestly quite mediocre.

It's not bad, just not exceptional (like Arch).
