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.

Switching to something rolling release makes sense. My Arch setup (btw) has always felt much more stable than when I was using Ubuntu, because with Ubuntu I'd inevitatebly run into a bug, find out it was fixed months ago but won't be backported, and then either live with it or try custom-installing the newer version of that thing. Or I'd install something manually that expected dependency X be the latest version, etc.
That's exactly why I moved to Arch too...
I don't recall what it was, but the fixed upstream version had been around for months, so I just moved.
I've even helped report / triage bugs, and they've been fixed and appeared in updates, which gives a good feeling
