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.

Xfce lover here. I tried Cinnamon for a bit and it is impressive, but I then moved to KDE on wayland. It's better than I thought. I decided to leave it almost not customized, just the panel on top and a couple of widgets. The thing with KDE, for me, is that you can't not love the developers for all the things they try to do and all the improvements they always bring. It's an impressive work. So, xfce on xorg and kde on wayland is my way to go. I'm not a fan of Gnome. It looks good at first, but after a bit I realize that simply it's not for me, not even the way it looks.
KDE is to busy for me. I need stupid simple and KDE is messy.
That is true. And so I am trying to not mess with it, which is a first for me actually😅
Well if it works for you that's good. We all have different tastes
