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.

Neon works great for me.
Pretty much I just want a laptop that just works when I need it to, while still having a nice, friendly, modern interface and Neon does that.
Would you say that RH makes more sense than Debian? If so, in which ways? I"ve been using Debian for the last 10 years, so it feels like home to me too, but recently I've been curious about other distros.
Debian makes more sense to me because I've been using Debian and Ubuntu since people were getting excited about Debian Wheezy coming out soon.
What little I have used of RHEL and CentOS they seem to be pretty logically designed, just different. I hadn't come across any real WTFs trying to use them. RHEL makes Debian look bleeding edge and reckless with their updates by comparison
