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.

Do they still do 15 minute bugs? That could still use some work.
Occasionally I get an itch to try Plasma and immediately get disappointed every time as I encounter some sort of bug just setting up the panel. Last time I tried was 6.6.5, so it wasn't just a point 0 software issue.
As a side note, I still get so confused by the "new" panel/desktop edit mode introduced in 6.1.
Yeah the panel editing could use some work. Lots of weird size and space issues still too. I rather like how Cosmic is developing their panel. Still customizable but so much easier to understand. With the great changes recently to application themes the panel sort of seems the least polished part now.
