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.

"Native installs are trash. Always have issues resolving dependencies and compiling from source. I’ve tried it for a while but at some point you want to get work done instead of having to resolve why libxcomposite is not available"
I tried that once but there were so many dependencies that it became a nightmare. Eventually I just went back to Ubuntu from all the headaches because I want to use software not struggle to compile it.
Not to mention every tutorial using apt as an installer and having to replace it with "yum" or "pacman" at every copy paste gets tedious very quickly.
