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.

Fair enough... It's been nearly a month since I commented here so I don't remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it's based on Arch, I'm not sure. I personally don't mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update "breaking" something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess
I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I'm very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can't even perceive at the time.
But hey, everyone has their preferences. That's why there's a billion distros to choose from.
Mx linux is cool.
