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.

Currently I am on KDE, but I am an xfce lover. I can't wait for the next xfce update and for Cosmic.
I am living KDE almost default. I have the impression that with too much customisation problems come.
Xfce is rock solid and rock solid after customisation too. It is truly amazing.
Gnome needs far too many extension for me to be usable. And so I avoid it.
Cinnamon is great too, but it's in the middle. If I don't want to use Wayland, at that point there is xfce.
