Gentoo on my home computer. Started way back in the day when you had to recompile source RPMs on RPM-based distros to get CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) language support. Debian language support was excellent, but I didn’t enjoy always being 5 package versions behind, especially as fast as some software was being developed.

CJK isn’t an issue anywhere anymore, but I stay on Gentoo because it has all the packages I want, and it doesn’t force systemd on me.

Will be moving away from Ubuntu on my work computer because of all the foolishness with ‘is it deb or is it snap?’. Not sure what I’ll go to.

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.
