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.

Void was a candidate for a distribution on my main machine some weeks or two months ago when I wanted to try something new after ten years of Arch. There were changes that required a reinstall so I thought why not change. I settled on NixOS in the end though. I believe Void is closer to Arch in the sense that it's a traditional rolling release distribution?
