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.

Manjaro is the best, but you'll have to see it for yourself.
Don't trust the "wisdom of the crowd." It does not exist.

Yeah, none of that matters.
On the other hand, https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/tampered-linux-mint-iso-linked-on-official-website
Nobody mentions this because it's not 'cool' and doesn't make you fit in with losers/strangers on the internet.
All of it matters, hard disagree, even if none of them are individually that bad it shows an insane degree of incompetence
the linux mint thing happened one time and was resolved, it shows no history of being incompetent, that's why it isn't mentioned, it's hardly worth mention, one security breach in the entire history of the project is not a big deal.
furthermore i personally don't think mint is a good distro either so, whatever.
