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.

PCLinuxOS is the bastard child of mageia, itself the child of mandriva, of mandrake and conectiva, the last a very, very excellent RH derivative from way back but loved by its Brazilian parents and truly groundbreaking. Live upgrades between major distro versions!
It's an RPM distro - thus massive validity checks all the way down - with highly versatile app versioning and ranges, and no fucking systemd.
It just has a terrible installer and no templates or boxes for vagrant / etc.
Gnuinos or Trisquel - Trisquel cos its clean and just works. Gnuinos cos its interesting, Devuan based and just fast.
