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.

Arch.
Edit:
Having said that, I have an eye on immutable distros. Maybe one day I'll try one out.
Is Manjaro good if I want in on this Arch goodness but don't want to spend hours configuring stuff? Coming from Fedora
If you plan to use the AUR, absolutely not.
If you don't plan to use the AUR it's probably fine, but I haven't used it personally in the last few years so I'm not sure.
