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.

Fedora and Arch are very different. That's like saying openSUSE and Fedora are the same, even that's not as extreme as your claim because they at least use the same package format.

@yum13241 I want a distribution with recent packages = Arch | Fedora
I want a stable and polished distribution = Fedora

I don’t care for the AUR as is not needed anymore in times of flatpak and distrobox.

I don't want to use a separate package manager with dumb douche.fuck.shit names, that's a problem for programs like crispy doom for example.

Native packages ftw
