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.

Crazy! Also I found the installer to be pretty weird.
I think I got it working now, the LUKS screen is blue and shows an error...
And Fedora Kinoite is not Beta at all. Its just as stable as KDE can be it seems, it has some weird timing bugs sometimes, but it works well and is very up to date.
Ublue is also essential, it bloats it a bit but thats nessecary.
I was a major opensuse tumbleweed fan to start, but this period has been fading for me as well. I can't really put my finger on it, but several prominent members of the community just seem to always rub me the wrong way. It's kind of like being told to go do it yourself if you want to see something done, but then being told you did the thing you wanted done wrong or you're using OpenSUSE incorrectly if you feel the urge to do the things you tried to do. I've also noted the hostility to KDE in various exchanges as well, which is very weird since a lot of KDE development is apparently done on OpenSUSE.
I have a major server running MicroOS that I'm looking to ditch and do a re-install on, but "stable, rolling" is a hard niche to fill when you might be looking for some extra kernel features that can't/don't ship directly in the Linux kernel. I'm stuck for now, but keen on the lookout for a decent replacement that fills the same niche as MicroOS for a server.
