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.

How long have you been using it, and on how many computers?
From the Arch wiki:
So unless Endeavour devs are doing anything special to make sure you can safely upgrade without checking the Arch news (and AFAIK, they don't, like most Arch based distros), you should probably check it. Of course it's a matter of chance if your system is the one that gets hit by some bug or conflict, YMMV, but eventually you'd hit a snag if you ignore Arch's devs advice.
yay
, the built in AUR helper, gets arch news for you.
