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.

I wouldn't say that tbh. Sure it has some issues, but it has been stable enough for me for the past 2+ years.

I wasn't using my Linux system daily, so I had to update things in bulk when I would open it up. That can apparently lead to a lot of problems with Manjaro. If you used it daily, I'm not surprised you didn't run into issues.

Yup. If you are updating on regular intervals it works pretty well.
