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.

Yes same here, I've been using Manjaro for a few years since I'm too busy to waste an entire day setting up a naked Arch. I have had no single stability issue, thing is rock solid
On the counterpart, fedora has always felt like I can't get a single package installed without the need for arcane
sudo magic tricks
and my system being unable to update anymore at the end of the process. I know that the problem probably lies between the bed and the keyboard, but come on, I am skilled enough to install and rice an Archlinux and manage my AUR packages without problems, but can't install GCC on fedora? Hmmm....And I'm not even mentioning conflicts and packages being unavailable either because your version of fedora is too young or too old
