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.

"By default, most new installations of Endless OS 4, and systems upgraded from older versions of Endless OS, will automatically update to Endless OS 5, and beyond as further versions are released. Systems must be specifically configured to remain on Endless OS 4"

As it even does major updates automatically, it's almost as handsfree as it gets.
