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 often use Arch in a container, when I need a fhs distro. EndeavourOS is great for desktop use if you don't want to go through the Arch install process.
DeltaChat is an awesome messenger. It's federated, quick and simple to use. Also, I didn't realize DC was on the fediverse for so many years.
My first ever distro was EndeavourOS. I installed it when I was 13 or 14 years old because someone on reddit said it's customizable. I never felt like I need to switch to anything else.
Me : New to Ubuntu . wanted to know what's the deal with arch. Switch to arch. 😵. Welp
Bah ha ha! All the main distros are amazing these days. You really can't go wrong with most. And if one doesn't work, just pick another of the top 5.
Recently switched to Linux a couple months ago and can't recommend EndeavorOS more. It's great.
I really like Debian I was using Arch before, but Debian looks better to me
I don't see the problem
Yeah, arch isn’t the most welcoming to new users, or so I’ve heard lol.
Mint BTW
God I love lemmy, I would have probably never known about EndeavorOS otherwise. Time to fire up a vbox VM and give this thing a whirl.
