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.

Manjaro for my laptop, Mint for my HTPC, and Debian for my servers.
I'm sorry but I can't resist mentioning it. Manjaro implemented quite sus telemetry recently so you should keep it in mind when choosing and using it.
Good to know! I was considering switching back to Debian or Mint, maybe LMDE. I'll look further into it. Thanks for the tip!
LMDE is fucking fantastic
