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.

There is AstOS although I haven't tried it personally and I'm not sure how well it works.
Oh nice. I'm going to look into it more. I have invested so much damn time into my current setup and I don't want to just migrate. So many apps and games are set up the way I want them. Not a distro-hopper here and you get the picture.
Please temove the exclamation mark from before your link, you're linking it as an image.
Ah, I was wondering why it wasn't showing up... I guess Boost isn't linking things properly. Thanks for the heads up.
Is AstOS still active? I found this AshOS which is similar but I had never tried any of it. Maybe also inactive don't really know. Thx for mentioning AstOS, I never thought this is possible on Arch distribution.
No idea! AshOS looks pretty cool too. It would be interesting to have a bigger arch based distro pick up something like this. Other than SteamOS I guess.
