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 feel like this yast been done before.
System configuration with OpenSuse's Yast seems miles ahead of all the others (at least those I have tested 🙃).
It doesn't look particularly nice. German functionality over design. And that it does well. One can do A LOT with it. Plus it's free even in Tumbleweed.
You're tempting me to give it another try after over a decade. I used to daily drive Opensuse with KDE 3.5
Go for it.
... and so forth. I don't get paid to write this. 😄
More on this.
