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've always liked their desktop. (As someone who quite likes the way macOS works).

I'll have to see what the state of this on Arch is. I don't much care for Debian anymore. Glad to see eOS is still going.

You can install Pantheon on Arch. Pantheon is the desktop environment that is used in Elementary OS.

Would be interested in this too. Only reason I stopped using Pantheon was because it got too annoying fixing it when it broke with updates and Elementary was behind on making it distro agnostic.

Seems like a really big release. I've never used it, but I appreciate that they exist.

Clicking download on the site opened up a box that had a magnet link option. You can add that to your client. It's the magnet icon next to the download button (after you click "download" on the choose your price page). I've included the magnet link below:
