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.

People shitting on Gnome sound like kids bitching that the free pizza shop doesn't offer your favorite hamburger.
Also, all this sudden Gnome hate all over Lemmy is trendy as fuck, being trendy used to mean you were a loser with no original style, I guess the capitalists turned it into "viral" and made it cool.
Lol, typical Lemmy to blame everything on capitalism.
Gnome is just incredibly annoying to use. It's not a trendy thing to say, it's just my opinion.
I really enjoy gnome, I much prefer it.
That's fair enough. I don't understand why personally but you do you.
