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.

I've tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don't see how it's better.
Even looking at the screenshots I don't understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn't even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.
Then there's the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn't work with nvidia, etc.
There's nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.
