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.

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there's no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.
Chimera Linux is also a pretty cool independent distro...
Open SUSE Tumbleweed too right?
Does anyone consider Tumbleweed stable?
Yes
So, solas isn't based on debian or some other core base? It's its own thing? Did I understand correctly?
Correct.
Sweet! I'll give it a try on my next install. Thanks!
