I came to understand the philosophy and the kind of user, and specially workflow, most desktop environments try to appeal

however, I don’t fully understand Budgie, have you used it? what can you tell me about it?

I do know, that the open nature of GNU/Linux makes not everything having to “fill a gap”, there can be more than one project with similar goals and that’s okay I just want to know it better

Asked myself the same, played with it on a spare laptop and I liked that it was sort of gnome with Windows UI, replaced it with xfce after they started using kde stuff more and more, yuck.

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.
