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.

Try arch and you'll never distro hop again
I can't confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.
I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I've never looked back. Been 5 years now :)
I can confirm that.
Tried to reconfigure some systemd services, switched to Artix (runit flavored btw)
Artix is definitely better than Arch. (using dinit flavor btw)
