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.

Void Linux
It has it's own package manager which is nice and performant, it has another script similar to the AUR to an extent, runit is simple and sensible.
EndeavourOS
basically Arch, including the AUR
Genuine interest, being an Arch user myself: why pick EndeavourOS over Arch? What does it do extra/differently?

We're looking to create a comprehensive list of the most popular Linux distributions and the reasons why people use them.
I'm curious, do you intend to put up the results somewhere?
