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.

Gnome likes to remove important APIs from time to time which leads to extensions being broken for an awfull long time after an update and also has all sorts of issues with QT apps, simply because Gnome devs do not want to bother with things they consider not important.
What's your issue with KDE?
EDIT: Typos.
i can chime in with some actual experience!
my current problems with KDE are
and what's fun about this is, the issues are so intermittent and random that i never know what i'm going to get on a given day!
I really appreciate the work and time the volunteer devs put in, but everytime I try KDE I have to give up because of some workflow breaking bug. Window rules disappearing into thin air, context menu's not rendering properly, power management not consistent, widget search freezing, random crashes. the list goes on. This has been the case with every major KDE release I tried and yes I have reported my fair share of bugs but it seems the priority lies with adding new features instead of fixing old ones which is a shame imo.
the window rules one really fucks me up.
It stopped working at the beginning of the year for me and nobody gave a shit about the bug reports.
Now I have to keep juggling windows and their sizes every day like a caveman.
