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 installed it last week. It's been pretty chill so far. I love the fact that my system is fully reproducible and version managed by git. Everything I need has been available. It feels a bit like the AUR to me: I need something, I look in nixpkgs and it's already there.
One thing I do find annoying is dependencies for work projects. It took me about an hour to figure out that some library our rust project depended on, expected some specific version of gdk or something, and that's why the project wouldn't compile. But apart from that, very nice and would definitely recommend!
