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.

Currently using Nobara OS and Vanilla OS. I really like Nobara because Fedora is a well supported OS (Thanks RHEL) and Nobara made setting up fedora really easy on my AMD CPU/ Nvida GPU. The only other ones which I liked as far as the out-of-the-box experience was: Endeavor OS for Arch-based and Zorin OS for Ubuntu-based. I appreciate Vanilla OS, and while they are pitching it as something for beginners; it is absolutely not. You need to understand at a basic level the relationship between containers and the host system, apx is a beautiful piece of software which makes containers incredibly easy to use, but you still need have a basic understanding. You also need to know when to interface with the host system, e.g installing gnome-tweaks. You also need to know when the default Ubuntu container isn't the best container to use. That said, the transaction system for manipulating the two root directories and most software being siloed off in containers ensures that the shitty laptop I am using hasn't ran into the many issues I have had in the past with it breaking updates randomly.
I love Nobara, the initial setup is so convenient!
And since it's based off Fedora, it feels polished.
