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.

Thanks bud, much appreciated 👍
I'm no longbeard wizard, but I've gone through the manual arch setup a few times, and done my fair share of distro hopping. I think I'll be able to run through this without too much issue. Just not sure who to believe, or if it really boils down to luck of the hardware draw.
In any case, I'm looking forward to playing around with my new toy, and hopefully it'll work how I want it to.
Might shoot you a dm and pick your brain if I get stuck.
