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 KDE spin is supported just as well. Been using it as my first major attempt at using Linux on my main desktop computer. I did check out the GNOME version briefly, and the main difference is that the GNOME version has an ootb setup experience. What I mean by that is that the ISO installer installs a non-personalized install and you create a new user and whatever at first boot instead. With the KDE spin you have to create a user in the ISO setup assistant.
KDE is a first class citizen on Fedora.
