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.

Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

Endeavour os with kde! Used to run manjaro and I think it's a good stepping stone, so you know what you like and not, what to keep... For example, I didn't know about oh my zhs and p10k, and if it wasn't for manjaro I wouldn't have know about that and owils be running the default bash console.
