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.

I used it as my main distro for about a year, and moved on right before the "abandonment saga" happened. It was a nice and performant distro, but lacked some stuff I needed, mostly support from a few projects and apps I needed to use.
I wouldn't recommend it as a main distro for at least 5 years after what happened, but would keep an eye out to use on a spare machine or a VM.
Nowadays I'd either settle on openSUSE Tumbleeweed for rolling-release. I'm personally more insterested in stability though (and not having to update stuff every 2 days or so), so I'm going team Debian.
