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.

Grauda is pretty neat, for me much better than Manjaro… https://garudalinux.org/index.html
I actually install the XFCE version which is more simple and then I use my own i3WM configuration/environment stuff. This way I can use their repos and their “Garuda Welcome” GUI which has pretty neat options to automatize steps.
