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.

GNOME does not break in general, and the few extensions I use work on GNOME 45 too, I think. They are mainstream and popular. The fact that Debian stable branch keeps GNOME as its default shows how stable it is.
The only time extensions break is when the release is very new or when an extension is not maintained
Yes. But there is a funny circlejerk here.
If anyone is circle jerking it is you. KDE and gnome fit two different use cases.
