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'm not a distro hopper, but 6 years ago I ditched Windows and chose Manjaro in the i3wm flavor.
I learned a lot initially and now "live in the terminal" whenever possible and I'm still using the same install.
If you want to learn more about linux, I can recommend it.
lDK if straight arch is better (as i've never used it) but I think I kinda prefer not having a constant flood of updates.
You are literally me.
Though after my introduction to Manjaro with i3, I switched to EndeavourOS with BSPWM.
