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.

I might use XFCE... but PLEASE GO KDE... I CANNOT EXPLAIN MY LOATHING OF GNOME
oh I can explain mine, Bad performance, lacking features, devs who don't care about problems that effect the user.
I felt that way before meeting a GNOME dev. Their target audience is the whole world of users who either don't already have a computer or don't know how to use one. They don't want people customizing their apps. They don't want a calculator named anything other than "Calculator". They're target audience is the 2B users that we don't currently interact with.
I mean that's fine, but when people complain about text being too blurry and not sharp enough, their response was something along the lines of sharpness not being the sole metric for performance...
who the fuck does that? and they do this shit all the time
