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.

Manjaro. It just breaks itself randomly, and performs poorly. Endeavour / ARCO Linux are more stable
@nerdschleife
@valentino
Eek I just finished installing Manjaro to test it out.
Manjaro was one of many I tried after becoming increasingly unhappy with Mint. It's also the one I stuck with, and it's run just fine for me for years. I accept that the reports of it being flawed have merit, but I care the most about my own experience, which has been excellent. If you want to test it, by all means, test it! Find out how it works for you personally.
But also try EndeavourOS and other Arch derivatives. One of those might be more to your taste.
@clobubba @valentino @nerdschleife @VoltaicGRiD I did the exact same thing. Mint and then manjaro got me to stick with Linux but I’d never recommend it now when endeavor os is right there
