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.

I used to be an Arch guy, I had a pretty stable setup for a couple of years, until I had some problem with a printer and I just decided to toss the whole thing out and just go for a distro with neat defaults in which I wouldn't be having problems with printers.
I've been using Solus since then and it's been fine. Even during the "bad times" of no updates, my laptop kept working fine so I didn't bother switching to something else and I keep using it since it's been more stable than distros I've used in the past which were supposed to be stable. I've seen mentions of the possibility of it eventually having an AUR style thing which would honestly make it the perfect distro.
