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.

Interesting. Do they point to arch repos or provide their own like Manjaro? I haven't thought about a rolling release atomic distro before.
Just the Arch repos with an additional repository (similar to EndeavourOS), so AUR packages do work as intended and are in fact officially supported.

Neat!
Also, the full disclosure of association/potential bias is absolutely appreciated. 🍻
I used to Arch, now I'm on ublue-kinoite with an Arch distrobox. Is there a reason to consider switching? (actual genuine question, not trolling)
Just wanted to add that OpenSUSE MicroOS uses Tumbleweed repos by default, so I'm fairly sure that's an atomic rolling release too. Not 100% sure, though.
