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.

This is why im on the hunt for a new distro. Looking at pop and fedora right now. Kinda prefer deb cause thats been my env for 15 yrs
Been using popos on all my computers for the past year and have been happy with it.
I would recommend using Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu without Gnome Shell and snaps. They use Flatpak instead. I have been enjoying it ever since I jumped ship from Ubuntu about 2 years ago.
I'm thinking pop os or just boring plain debian. This snap shit is just getting too much to bother with.
Agreed. I game alot in linux and ive heard straight debian isnt so hot there
For gaming you should definitely check Garuda Linux.
Flatpaks fix a lot of debains boring.
I was using EndeavourOS when I ran into the wall that a lot of stuff didn't have builds on AUR that I needed (and didn't feel like compiling myself or they didn't provide source code)
