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 told myself I wasn't gonna do it anytime soon but I distro hopped from Endeavour OS to Arch with Hyprland in the span of 3 days. Nothing against endeavour. I just tried to customize, broke some stuff and decided to try Hyprland again. I'm quite liking it. It takes awhile to get used to it but it's fun. I cloned a repo for a customized version of it. I don't know how long I'll stick with it but wish me luck!

Good luck then. I spent happy years on Arch but recently hopped to Void because lately Arch packages broke to much (mainly because of my choices to be honest) and I wanted something different (not specifically no systemd)

What Arch based distoe were you on? I would love to spend some time on Debian and OpenSUSE eventually. Also Fedora is intriguing, I wished I tried it already.

I've had experience with Debian based and Arch based distros only. I was on Majaro for months before I had to switch back to windows and leave Linux behind for awhile

I think when he said arch he meant arch and not arch based?!?

Depends on the distro, something like EOS is basically Arch with fancy pants on.
