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.

Opensuse has GUI frontend that controls almost all the system settings called YaST, why dont you give it a try
Yes! I tried tumbleweed before but it seemed quite fragile or maybe over secure? Idk if I'm explaining it correctly, but it seemed like everything I tried to do on the OS ended up breaking the system so I has to keep starting over and try reconfiguring things. Probably just learning curve issues
Yep, too overly specific or weird on some stuff, like for example on installing packages via terminal, I just went with suggesting it because I haven't fully red and understood your query, my bad :)
As for auditing tools, I can't think of any because there is a lot of ways how to check logs and it is messy ngl. If I'll be honest with you how I kinda survived linux is by automating backup of important files through nas and if I f*cked up my system, instead of fiddling the logs to find what went wrong, I'll just nuke it.
Not a bad approach actually lol. I've pretty much done the same with virtually no backup. I never have much to save on my computers.
