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.

It's easier with endeavourOS or Cachy OS if you don't want vanilla. As someone who's an Arch user, endeavourOS is better.
OK. Guess i'm installing EndeavourOS alongside my current distro. (Fedora)
But i still have one more question: When i tried to install EOS alongside Fedora in a VM, EOS's GRUB did not find fedora and vice versa. How do i fix that? (Sure, i could spam [ESC] each boot to select the os but that's just inconvenient.)
You can reinstall grub using a grub2disk usb if something goes wrong. It might go better with real hardware than in a VM. I could be wrong though. Sorry I can't be more helpful in that regard, I don't use grub anymore.
Should i replace GRUB with systemd-boot?
Maybe, it's easier to configure. If you already have GRUB setup than I probably wouldn't bother. It depends on your needs.
