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 am thinking of going Debian as well since I like Ubuntu on my work laptop.
I would like to use the same OS for both PC since I am not a power user yet, but I am tempted by endeavourOS to dip my toes into arch linux.
I don't want to have too big of a productivity loss at work (don't care at home), so I am thinking to switch to Debian for work, and EndeavourOS on my personal PC to gain experience with it. If I like endeavourOS a lot, then I can switch my work laptop to it as well.
Isn't it how most Linux users progress?
Honestly I wouldn't use Endeavour for my work machine, I'd stick to Debian. Work, to me, needs to be extremely stable. The only time I'll run something other than Debian for work stuff is to test a specific distribution for a specific need.
Home PC I'm more flexible on, I've just been using Debian/it's derivatives for so long it's second nature for me. If there was something that felt as current and flexible as Endeavour, but based around Debian, that would be my choice in a heartbeat for home use.
But aside from the stuff that runs Oracle Linux (vendor system), every other system (be it a desktop, LXC, or server) is Debian based. Doesn't break unless it's the hardware, and I've got HA to deal with that.
Thanks for the insight, it is really useful. I'll spin up Debian on my work laptop for sure and I'll see how it feels to decide for my personal PC.
