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 love to see it evolving but I also wish it was stable enough to be auto-updatable
It is, I've been auto updating it for almost 2 years. Just needs a quick fix every now and then.
Obviously make sure your backups are working properly.
Apparently the stable release is planned for the first half of 2025, so you may not have to wait too much longer!
