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 Linux distribution or distributions do you personally use?

I myself am a daily Void user. I used to use Devuan, but wanted to try rolling release and ended up loving Void!

Been switching between Arch and Linux Mint for a while now. I run Arch and EndeavourOS on my laptops (Arch on my daily 2-in-1, Endeavour on my TV laptop) but I can't decide which is better for VR on my main rig... probably because VR on Linux is kinda in a pathetic state anyway lol. Next week I'm getting a second GPU for simple display-out so I can use my 6800XT to run VR in a Windows VM, probably on Arch

Edit: landed on EndeavourOS, basically just Arch with a GUI installer, DE by default, and some other tweaks. It's what I kept turning Arch into pretty much lol
