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 have been hoping for a long time around 2-3 months.
I mostly hope to see what different distro has to offer plus I get to know a lot about Linux and how it works. ( I am a Software Engineer so I learn a lot about softwares too)
ok this is a tough one, I like Arch because of AUR and the concept of AUR, there isn't anything like it in other linux distro however it broke because I partially updated it by installing newer package on older deps this was my mistake that I didn't update my Arch system for a long time, I also liked Gentoo which gave me a deeper understanding of how software are compiled and gets installed on a Linux system.
My favorite distro would be Arch and the least favorite would be Ubuntu

Maybe it is time to try something without systemd and since you liked pacman then artix obarun joborun ... parabola hyperbola (if you are into strict free software) may be good bets.
