Linux
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.

KDE really is what windows promised to become back in the XP days and just never did.
Also GNOME shows this campaign on their website
Nice article. But a little bit too wordy and long. They need to shorten this a bit, if this is an initial page trying to make it clear.
endof10.org is hosted on KDE infrastructure, why are there two competing initiatives?
Why not?
Well it kinda fragments the effort. Each campaign has to essentially do the same things, but twice.
But they are presented and optimized in a different way. Not only for the search engines, but also the way how it affects the human. And in the end (no pun intended BTW), one is talking about KDE specifically, showcases it and goes a bit more indepth. And the other is a very short and simple page, talking about Linux in general with a few key bullet points. So having two different ways is not a bad idea actually.
My suggestion for people finally looking to switch from Win 10 to a Linux distro; if you have an Nvidia card, avoid Gnome (desktop env. many distros ship with it). It's unfortunate since Gnome looks and feels great but my lord is it unstable on Nvidia drivers. I've tried to stabilize on my RTX 3080 but no luck.
My folly was HDR support, and boy that aint easy.
Sorry that it is not working for you, and it definitely worth people keeping in mind that issues can happen, but it is not quite so binary as "don't use GNOME if you have Nvidia".
Plenty of people use Nvidia and GNOME together successfully. I have an Nvidia 2070 RTX and it works very well with GNOME on Fedora Workstation. I've never even had to install anything or mess with settings, it just worked automatically.
