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.

Archlinux for about 8 years now. Before that I used Ubuntu. Before that I used Gentoo. And before that was Debian, back in the dark ages when I installed Linux from several floppies.
Along the way I tried a few others, too, but never really stuck with them.

I have been using Nobara. It is maintained by Glorious Eggroll who develops popular Wine and Proton forks, and it has been a pretty pain-free experience playing the latest games with near native performance.
EndeavourOS on machines I dont mind tinkering with and PopOS on ones that need less attention
