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.

Mint, with any DE, does come with a graphical package manager. It's as easy as any appstore. The only confusion is it suggests both it's original and flatpack versions to install.
I think you are talking about EndevourOS there.
Yeah, I'm talking about EndeavourOS. I don't see what got you confused.
Reading it in a linear fashion, you drop one distro after another without much distinction. I believe it'd be better if you serve EndOS it's own paragraph since it's so different.
Bruh
What 'bruh'?
It isn't hard to drop a before one starts explaining a completely different OS.
