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.

The YouTuber really grew up. KDE is for Kids. GNOME is for Grownups. Once you realise GNOME is the only professional DE out there, you stop looking back, you stop hopping around like a frog.
To the idiots claiming GNOME breaks or extensions break, I have a few extensions that do not break GNOME, and those extensions are always up to date.
Colorblind Filters, Color Picker, Dash to Panel, GTK Title Bar, Lock Keys, Resource Monitor, Tactile, True Color Window Invert
I will add that KDE is one of the worst DEs as far as performance goes, only second to the likes of Deepin. I have used GNOME, KDE, LXQt, XFCE, LXDE, TDE and few others. GNOME is only second best to LXQt and XFCE, while looking great and not needing to turn off animations or compositor.
Edit: these downvotes tell me Lemmy is simply filled with irrational counter culture normies who live in the delusion that they are the rationalists.
I cannot even begin to describe what a dumb take this is. I really hope i's satire
Fortunately, it is not. I do not want a bunch of Kiddy Kultist Klowns over Grownup Gigachad Goats deciding how Linux should be adopted by masses.
*he says as GNOME is literally THE desktop to go against EVERY OTHER DESKTOP on Wayland issues and to keep on delaying major fixes further for bullshit reasons. Delaying or not adding features users want, for ideological reasons is the exact reason that Wayland is still not ready even though development started in 2008.
