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 used Linux lite and Fedora(Gnome edition) so far, and trying to hop Distro(plus, I lost my actual boot drive. Not to worry, I know I've left it in my friend's house, so the data is safe. Plus, no important data were on it in the first place).
Considering the recent incidents with the Red Hat Enterprises, I'm not sure if I should go with any of their distributions. Which would be a great OS for me, you guys think? @thelinuxEXP @linux@lemmy.ml @Linux@linuxrocks.online @linuxmagazine @linux_gaming

I'm a big Ubuntu fan and it's derivatives. PopOS is pretty snazzy, but it doesn't have grub which can be a little weird.

Currently I'm running KDE Neon. I used to be a hard core gnome guy, but I've been seduced by all the performance gains KDE has. I just customized it to look like gnome (it's infinitely customizable).

But if you want to stick to RPM land, check out OpenSUSE.

The other suggestion I'd have would be Manjaro which is arch based.
