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.

Examples could be things like specific configuration defaults or general decision-making in leadership.

What would you change?

I'd love yearly Debian releases instead of just every 2 years.

NixOS

Mostly perfect in my opinion but it'd be nice if when they renamed options they didn't deprecate the old option names so old configs still worked

id have nobara go back to Firefox as default browser, or at least a chromium that's a little more palletable like Vivaldi or something. heck even a checkbox at installation asking which browser to install would be fine, anything but stock Google chrome

edit: just double checked and it looks like nobara uses chromium not chrome, my bad

Can we get a free software only version of every distro? That's what I want.

Slackware: nothing, it's perfect just the way it is.

Debian and Arch, for me, tie as my favorite and honestly can't say I would want to change anything as I need to use the technology more before I can critique it like that.

Nothing. Slackware is perfect and complete.
