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.

@Banthex@feddit.org i get what you saying. but as i lack experience with distros i find it interesting. can you add a few more examples of polished like how?
I'm still unsure if you mean sharp as in clear, crisp high resolution / not pixelated / not blurry or "better" design / ui(x).
If the first check (fractional) scaling settings / font anti aliasing / smoothing options (I don't use Gnome so don't know where), if the latter, one is a small team of probably underpaid devs (Gnome), the other one of the wealthiest companies in the world (Apple) so I'd sure hope Apple's UI is "better" than Gnome's (though looking at Windows it doesn't seem like having money equals good design, lol).
Yes also the gtk thing. Maybe what i search is that all software ui's should follow a better design template? But i understand the feedback for ui freedom.
