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've always liked their desktop. (As someone who quite likes the way macOS works).

I'll have to see what the state of this on Arch is. I don't much care for Debian anymore. Glad to see eOS is still going.

Would be interested in this too. Only reason I stopped using Pantheon was because it got too annoying fixing it when it broke with updates and Elementary was behind on making it distro agnostic.

You can install Pantheon on Arch. Pantheon is the desktop environment that is used in Elementary OS.
