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.

Probably ubuntu from 05-16. Switched to arch around then, and been on manjaro since 2020.
Why did you go from Arch to Manjaro?
I also switched from Arch to Manjaro. I found myself installing the same set of softwares that overlaps with default Manjaro installation, so I decided it'll be less work for me to use Manjaro when it was time to rebuild my PC.
I built a gaming pc and didnt feel like fiddling with the graphics drivers and doing config for hours before being ready to play.
The main thing i loved about arch was the aur. Getting your hands dirty and making every choice for your setup is cool, but im fine just running stock setup too.
