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.

Man. Props to the team. At least from my perspective (I'm not into distro hoping anymore) they came out of nowhere and people absolutely loved them. I should give them a test on a VM, specially since I've been recommending against them because I didn't think they are a good fit for llinux newcomers
Bazzite cured my desire to distro hunt ever again
