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.

What is it? Even the article does not say
It's a customized Arch Linux. Basically manjaro, but with ~~XFS~~ BTRFS file system (as mentioned in the release note )
It used to default to XFS, according to ZDNet
It defaults to BTRFS with more recent releases
Thanks for pointing out. I've edited the comment
They also ship ZFS out of the box, which makes their kernels my go-to solution for the systems I want to boot off ZFS.
It also compiles packages with newer architecture feature support than mainline arch. All of its packages are compiled for x86_64-v3 and x86_64-v4, as compared to the x86_64-v2 of standard arch. This improves performance at the cost of older CPU support
