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.

Should've recommended Arch-based distro like Manjaro. It's Arch, and you don't need to use TTY for installation. And they can claim they use Arch btw.

I actually recommended endeavor as an option if I remember correctly but they wouldn't try it

Manjaro has some issues, endeavourOS is better

Ive been using Manjaro for 5 years now, I'll try Endevour when I upgrade my laptop. Thanks for the tip!

I'm switching from manjaro to endeavour atm, and i am liking endeavour a lot. I kept having issues with manjaro boot after every kernel update, but otherwise didnt mind it. Probably whatever manjaros build chain for boot is just wasn't working with my hardware, but also the attitude on the forum is that you are stupid if you have to roll the kernel back.

Endeavour really just provides you arch with some maintenance utilities and otherwise lets you do your thing.

No more firefox home page getting constantly reset to the manajro home page so they can market you their laptop partnerships either 😉
