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.

Cool, yeah it does look very appealing. Might hop myself. I tried to install it but I couldn't get btrfs to work on my system so I went with openSuSe Tw instead. I dont really like corporate distros though and I miss the aur plus the amazing arch wiki so might try again.
In case it helps: At install time I created a swap partition the same size as my RAM and a Btrfs root partition. Then after install I ran
"yay -S snapper-support btrfs-assistant btrfmaintenance"
Then after install I enabled the maintenance scripts with defaults in the btrfs-assistant GUI and that was it. It takes snapshots when installing stuff and I can do a roolback to a snapshot in btrfs-assistant GUI or Cli (requires an immediate reboot).
One snag: If you installed it with Grub instead of systemd-boot it will show booteable snapshots in Grub but I don't know how roll back permanently if I've booted into one as it uses some sort of overlayfs. So I don't use this feature.
I wish EOS did all this as an install option though.
Also get btrfs-assistance.
I didnt even get that far. I think installer crashed when trying to go with btrfs as filesystem so I got cold feet. I have ventoy with a shitload of distros on so bar was pretty low to go for something else. That looks doable though, thx will try again.
