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.

Is budgie still being developed?
It is in the OS development was rebased too. The creators endless OS distribution instead
I think you meant to say serpentOS?
You're right, for some reason I always think they call it endlessOS. Coffee must not have kicked in when I wrote that.
I used Solus on my old laptop. Same install for 7 years!
Once proton became good I moved my gaming PC from windows to Solus as well.
Though I use Debian on everything else these days.
I've started playing with Chimera Linux. Super interesting hybrid between BSD-like systems (ports, BSD-derived userland tools) and the Linux kernel, with neat design choices like LLVM compiler instead of gcc and musl C instead of glibc. I think of it as a next-gen Void Linux.
Does using Alpine for your desktop count? I don't do any server or container stuff, it works like any other distro and the packages are quite up-to-date so...
raspberry pi os + Debian Sid. Been using the same install with daily updates for 3 yrs.
