Today, what the editor shares with you is the detailed introduction of the Linux release. I believe most people don't know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor summed up the following content for you. Without saying much, let's move on.

Slackware series

Slackware Linux is a GNU/Linux distribution developed by Patrick Volkerding. Unlike many other distributions, it adheres to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. It will be difficult to configure the system at first, but more experienced users will like the transparency and flexibility of this approach. Many features of Slackware embody the principles of KISS. The most famous examples are textual system configuration that does not rely on graphical interfaces, traditional service management methods, and package management that does not solve dependencies.

Debian series

In a broad sense, Debian refers to a cooperative organization and its works dedicated to creating a free operating system. Because many kernel branches of the Debian project are dominated by the Linux macro kernel, and most of the basic tools in the operating system created by Debian developers come from the GNU project, "Debian" often refers to Debian GNU/Linux.

Unofficial kernel branches include Debian GNU/Hurd (Hurd microkernel), which only supports x86, and Dyson (OpenSolaris hybrid kernel), which only supports amd64. These unofficial branches have some serious problems, such as the technical immaturity of the Hurd microkernel and the imperfect basic functions of Dyson.

Arch Linux series

Arch Linux (or Arch / recent rt /) is a Linux distribution based on the x86-64 architecture. The system is mainly composed of free and open source software and supports community participation. The system design takes KISS principle (keep simple and stupid) as the overall guiding principle, pays attention to code correctness, elegance and minimalism, and expects users to be willing to understand the operation of the system. The software package manager for Arch Linux systems to install, remove, and update software is called pacman.

Arch Linux uses a rolling release mode to obtain system updates and the latest versions of the software. The system installation image simply contains only the main components of the system.
