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.

Pretty much, yeah. Definitely agree with you on that one. I use Manjaro mostly bc im lazy to install regular arch and also bc I actually found that delay in the update cycle to be really good in my case. With regular arch the times I used it broke a lot more than what Manjaro ever did for me, and I'm not that particularly interested in "bleeding edge" that much, but instead I liked arch and arch based distros because of the compatibility and tools I need. The AUR is amazing, and there's tons of custom repos to be added on top of arch which give me said tools I need to use + (yeah im lazy as hell).

So yeah, Manjaro is pretty much a bit of a more stable arch for lazy people, so right up my alley!
