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 between debian & fedora, what do you like about arch?
If you game, definitely Fedora. If its mostly work, it doesn't really matter...
FYI is going to include opt out telemetry in the near future if the proposal ends up passing. (If its not already decided)
You could also check out Opensuse Tumbleweed, since it's future proof and requires zero maintenance unlike arch. However, Arch is definitely one the most minimal distros.
nice
Until you upgrade to next semiannual version and it installs snap back
I swore to myself if they ever pulled this microsoft move again id hop, but they seem to have stopped doing it for now.
Oh that's good to hear. I hopped to Debian when they installed snap and changed Firefox to snap version in 22.04 or something
