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.

It's vey pretty and clean but the default workflow just does not work for me. Having to dig up extensions for basic window management features which end up breaking with major updates is a pain. Also while gnome-tweaks is cool and all there are plenty of settings that should just be in the main settings app rather than being "tweaks" imo.
Overall I'd much prefer KDE Plasma, out of the box it has a lot of features and ways to configure it through the main settings app to fit my preferred way of doing things. While many see the plethora of options as a con, I'd rather have them there and implemented with the option to just disable what I don't use rather than installing extensions to get what's missing.
GNOME is great for people who enjoy doing things the GNOME way but if you need more than that it's just a hassle to configure and maintain for me personally.
