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'm very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

Okay. What are your thoughts of KISS linux? It's pretty minimalistic and have a very tiny package manager which is written entirely in Bash script.

Sounds like a remake of Slackware.

KISS

Debian is KISS. Grab it and use, no need to overcomplicate things.

KISS-ish. Default init is systemd. Debian also provides customized configuration of services.

Building a deb package isn't that straightforward as Arch's PKGBUILD.

I'm unfamiliar with KISS. I don't really distro hop, since what I use has satisfied all my needs to date.
