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.

The only thing that keeps my laptop on GNOME is the damn beautiful overview. It's also the only reason I show it to interested people instead of KDE.
KDE has an overview now too! It's mapped to
Super+Wby default. And they're continuing to make it fancier in Plasma 6.I'm moving to KDE I think. After using gnome forever.
I really love gnomes clean simple de. But to me (beginner/novice) gnome vs KDE is like iOS vs android. Gnome for work and KDE for a desktop that represents my soul haha.
As someone who makes their KDE look as much like Windows 7 as possible, this hit home for me 🥹.
Gnome looks better but kde is more functional... I can even run Jetbrains apps in kde without them being blurred in 4k 144hz, but gnome can't.
Try to autoconnect to a vpn in GNOME, you can't do it in the settings. I love KDE, I just wish it was a bit more beautiful sometimes.
