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 just want to add that for Debian with a rolling, up-to-date experience, Siduction does that nicely.
Forgot to mention that, but indeed, Sid works pretty well...
Thanks, Sid hasn't been on my radar. Ill go have a look. I happen to have a ZFS box up in rsync.net running Debian, and it'd be nice to learn more about CLI in the deb world.
Just clarifying in case there's a mix-up: Siduction is a desktop distro based on Debian Sid, not exactly the same distro. It's my favorite take on Debian so far but honestly I always have something to grumble about in apt-world.
I did kinda assume you meant Debian's Sid, tbh. Hadn't heard of Siduction as a Distro. Siduction being the actual long name of Debian Sid sounded very plausible. 😅
Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I'm inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.
