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.

Of GNOME or KDE? Because both of them leave gunk in system files when removed
That's not how these OSs work. You're thinking in terms of traditional distros.
Think of it like this. With an image-based OS like Bazzite, whenever you do an update or you switch between different flavors, it's like completely wiping the system directories and reinstalling them fresh, while leaving the user directories alone.
So you're not removing GNOME or KDE. It's like they were never installed in the first place.
