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.

Started on Ubuntu as anybody, then PopOS, and then Garuda, but then I realized that the Garuda community is a completely POS so I ditched the whole distro. And now I'm using vanilla Arch with my own settings.
Between those hopps can be like an average of 3 distrohopps per day, because 'this distro is better because have this and that', but when you start using WM and need to configure each config file with an different programming language and all that, you really stop caring about if that distro have blur or not.
