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 need a Void fork for beginners

There's an image pre-built with XFCE. If you're still not happy with Void, due to the TUI installer, et c., it's probably a bad distro-choice.

Void is inherently not a very beginner friendly distro. It's one of my favorites, but its not geared towards beginners at all.
